Package
Index Entry
'Package' is a thing word and I don't think things; I think verbs. I keep housecleaning my language-- but, there, 'house' is a bad word too. In my spontaneous reflexes I often use reflex thing words. I apologize.

Package
Index Entry
"We package our foods coming inbound: Why don't we package them going outbound? It's just exactly as easy. When nature takes so much trouble to separate liquids and solids it is preposterous to put them together again."
- Citation & context at Wichita House, (1)(2), 31 Jan'75

Package
Index Entry
Package:
"Radiation is always packaged... All the quanta are local-system, center-of-event activity, focal points-- fractionations of the whole point: what are minimally, ergo most economically packaged, and expanded outwardly and omnidiametrically as three-central-angle-defined tetrahedra."
- Citation and context at Integrity of Universe, 23 Sep'73

Package (3)
Index Entry
Package:
"In the quantum and wave phenomena we deal with individual packages. We do not have continuous surfaces. In synergetics we find the familiar practice of second powering displaying a congruence with the points, or little separate energy packages of the shell arrays. Electromagnetic frequencies of systems are sometimes complex, but they always exist in complementation of gravitational forces and together provide prime rational integer characteristics in all physical systems. Little energy actions, little separate stars: this is what we mean by quantum. Synergetics provides geometrical conceptuality in respect to energy quanta."

Index Entry
"Each experience begins and ends; ergo is finite. Because our apprehending is packaged, both physically and metaphysically, into time increments of alternate awakeness and asleepness as well as into separate finite conceptions such as the discrete energy quanta and the atomic nucleus components of the fundamental physical discontinuity, all experiences are finite."
- Citation & context at Universe (p.62), 1969

Packaged
RBF Definitions
It is the nature of all of our experiences that they begin and end. They are packaged. For instance, we see in 60 separate picture frames per second, as in a moving-picture continuity. Each frame is a finiteincrement. Our brain's afterimage lag is so powerful that it gives a sense of absolute eccentricity √ sic √ to our only-subconsciously packaged seeing. We wake up and go to sleep."

"Playboy: 'But since you mentioned Adam and Eve a moment ago, let's take the Garden of Eden as a parable and ask if the element of man's will mightn't make him a stranger to this universal perfection. Couldn't the Scenario Universe be a tragedy as far as human affairs are concerned?'
"Fuller: 'In the first place I don't take anything as a parable. I'm interested in stories if I can understand them, but I don't use fiction as the basis of doing any strong thinking, especially when it comes to such matters as 'man's will.' I think we'd better not assume that what we've been told about the Garden of Eden has any validity whatsoever. I don't think there was a Garden of Eden, and I don't think there was an Adam and Eve, and I don't think Eve was born out of Adam's rib. So I can't accept the parable.'"

RBF Definitions
Parallaxi
"When the relative circle size in respect to the observer is of macro-differential magnitudes, such as that of the circumference of the galactic system in respect to each planet observer, then the central-angle magnitude of the subtended macrocosmic arc becomes undetectable and the astronomer and navigator assume parallelism-- parallax-- to have set in, which produces a constant factor of error which must be incorporated in mathematical formulation of system descriptions. In quantum accounting and analysis of energy events and transformative transactions, this parallelism separates one quantum tetrahedron from its three surrounding tetrahedra."

"One of the most interesting things about the modern chemistry and physics is that men have discovered that there are no things, there are no small particles. The physicist deliberately misleads society by using the words 'solid state' and things like that and by still using the word particle. . . he may say that of course, he doesn't mean anything by it, but he just doesn't know what else to call it.. He is so busy with his work that no doesn't want to bother with semantics so he calls it a particle. There is some kind of local preoccupation here and we just call it particle. We identify it as special local behavior. It is a special local behavior but it is pure principle, such as the wave concept. It has no weight whatsoever. . .
"So well then## get in to what we call the nucleus, the positive particles if you want to call them that. But it has since been discovered that every one of them has an anti-particle. All the negative particles have negative weight and so you have neutrons, positrons, and so on: you have positives, and negatives and neutrals. The sum total of ##m

"all the positive weights and all the negative weights is zero. You are dealing in pure principle. This is the actual fact. And it is weightless. There is no smallest thing. There are very minute energy events in pure pattern, but they are pure pattern-- just as the knot was not a rope but a pure regenerative principle. The wave was not the water or the milk or the kerosene. The quantum in wave mechanics is simply the way we deal with these pure principles in an absolutely weightless manner."

"It is a derivative corollary of synergy that there are no parts, for parts always turn out to be subsystems of pattern. There is only pattern, there is only wholeness to begin and cease: the environment and content of all experience or experiment.
"It is a corollary of synergy that behaviors of subdivisions are of plural and alternate sets permitted and required of the larger pattern; and that there are always sets of complementary consequence in respect to any of the selectable alternate permissible sets. Plurality of permitted freedoms within the whole is manyfold.
"Effectiveness of synergetics is relative to comprehensiveness of initiation, its sub-behaviors being determinable to degrees of refinement permitting event prognostication within circumscribed limits of high fidelity attunement."

"It is interesting that the Russians go along with the old patent idea. You can't apply for one; the government simply awards it at the point when it comes into use. And if the invention is so good that it gets adopted within 12 months, they award a patent and a patent in Russia gives the individual the right to go into any establishment and look things over and see what he might do; it gives him the right to ride wherever he wants on the transportation system; it is really a more effective thing than what we have here. He gets a fundamental advantage and an actual payment.
"It's interesting that the idea of giving inventors some advantage persisted from the old feudal monarchies through democracy and into communism.
"A patent in the United States is just a license to sue. There have been over 300 licenses of geodesic domes and over 50 have been too big, major corporations. Every time their patent attorneys would come to mine, saying of course we'd like to get around your patent but it's too well written, so we have to come to you,... You absolutely have to have a world patent; a U.S. patent is useless."

"In general, it can be said that patents are never granted for covering fundamental principles of nature. You cannot patent any unique geometry. I have a great many patents and none of them are granted in the terms of the specific mechanical, structural, and chemical technology employed to realize an interaction of a plurality of principles.
"It is also necessary that there be a fundamental surprise quality in an invention. Though patents can be secured from the patent office, they hold up in court when this fundamentally unique and illusive quality of surprise is undeniably present....
"I am saying these many things to you not with the idea of discouraging you as an inventor but to save you money in your patent work. I have always found it a great help to have powerful patent searches made. They often disclose earlier invention in areas where I had thought myself to be the inventor. I never let an earlier invention discourage me, but I do not want to kid myself into thinking I am an inventor when I am not."

The criterion for a basic patent is one of approximately one sentence, or one line in length-- ergo, most far-reaching and of highest value, and resultant to the largest experience, and greatest breadth and penetration of thought and therefore resultant to greatest experience-- which is basic cost, ergo, most costly; but because of its end result being mistaken by the many for the just naturally obvious simplicity and therefore of negligible cost."

"Nobody seemed to know where the housing traditions and the diseases they bred came from and why they were going on. I could not seem to be able to maintain health conditions as I wanted them in the kind of rentals I could afford, and I blamed it very much on housing. The more I saw of the housing world the more it seemed to me that about this great ignorance much could be done if we could think of our whole economics in the terms of preventive pathology instead of curative pathology. In our curative pathology we wait until somebody is very sick, and if they are lucky they might be able to get the right drugs from the research institute. I am talking of the picture of 1927.
"This present war has, however, seen an enormous advance in these curative matters. One of our boys here today had an infection in his nose which started in his eye the day before yesterday. They rushed him to the hospital and they gave him penicillin. He is all right now. It might have been a fatal case a few years ago, since the infection would have gone right up into his brain. It is just wonderful; but that has happened now in 1946. War releases an enormous amount of technology, and that is at least one benefit showing up."

"It is a tendency for patterns either to repeat themselves locally or for their parts to separate out to join singly or severally with other patterns to form new constellations. All the forces operative in Universe result in a complex progression of most comfortable--i.e., least effort, rearrangings in which the macro-medio-micro star events stand dynamically together here and there as locally regenerative patterns. Spontaneously regenerative local constellations are cosmic, since they appear to be interoriented with angular constancy."

Kepes at M.I.T. made a beautiful demonstration ∫of the scientist's and artists need to articulate∫. He took hundreds of eight by ten black and white photographs of modern paintings and shuffled them thoroughly with photographs taken by scientists through microscopes or telescopes of all manner of natural phenomena: sound waves, chromosomes, and such. The only way you can classify photographs with nothing recognizable in them is by your own spontaneous pattern classifications. Group the mealy, the blotchy, the striped, and so forth. The pattern groups of photographs were put on display. The artists' work and the scientists' were indistinguishable. Checking the data, it was found that the artist frequently conceived of a pattern in his imagination before the scientist found it in nature. Science began to take a new view of artists.

Pattern Generalization:
"Out of multi-overlaid experience patternings there sometimes emerges an awareness of what we may call a coincidence pattern--a localized thickening of points. These emergent patterns of frequency congruences and concentrations display a unique configuration-integrity which has up to now been so dilute in any one experience as to be only invisibly common to many differentiated or special experiences, e.g., a pack of one hundred 4-inch by 5-inch file cards each riddled with hundreds of different sized small holes. Each card appears to be chaotically patterned with holes. However, when the cards are stacked with edges aligned three holes in each card are vertically aligned; all others are obscured by blank spaces on one card or another. A triangular pattern relationship of the light coming through three tubes in the stack of cards is now lucidly conceptual. To such persistently emergent, uniquely mutual, coincidence-patterning relationships as the same triangle array of holes in each and every card we may apply the term 'pattern generalization' as used in a mathematical sense, in contradistinction to the word 'generalization' as used in the literary sense. The latter often means a too-ambitious subject range which consequently permits only superficial considerations of any specific case data."

Precession is the effect

Precession always produces
Angular changes of movements

"No longer do I want to talk about the chemical elements as things but as pattern integrities. Each one of them is a unique pattern integrity... in a sense a form of knots. So we get where there are chemical compounds and the knots tend to be interlinkable and they will catch on one another. This one is holding together, all right, but this ball of twine and this ball of twins, suddenly one weaves into the other every so often and associates...
"One of the interesting things I have found to consider about humanity, whereas each one of us weighs in at an average of seven pounds-- there is a pattern integrity that is very extraordinary, because no sooner is a child born than people say, 'That is Aunt Mary,' and so forth. There are certain strange pattern characteristics that suddenly reappear. And it is not just that there are species, that they are human-- I don't think people tend to do this too much, but they do, even in hybrids of plants-- to bring out the red and the white, split petal, or whatever it may be. At any rate, we say 'There is Aunt Mary,' and probably when it only weighed one ounce it still had Aunt Mary in there."

There is some pattern integrity that came in in a family-- absolutely discontinuous, because Aunt Mary had absolutely nothing to do with this wedding. She was just Aunt Mary, and there is some Aunt Mary in this child, all right. I call that pattern integrity quite independent of the relative size-- whether it is the one ounce size, or the seven pound size, or the 70 pound size-- because later on it gets to be 70 pounds-- then it gets to be 170, and then it had better watch its Metracal. There is a pattern integrity which is something independent of weight; and each human being is an extraordinary complex of these pattern integrities.

These self-interference patterns of atomic element components are in many ways similar to the family of knots that are tied with rope by sailors to produce various local behaviors, all of which, however, result in further contraction of the knot as the two ends of the rope immediately outside the knot are pulled away from one another by forces external to the knot-- and thus all the attractive forces of Universe operating upon the atoms may result precessionally in keeping the atomic knots pulled together."

There are the lines: a line is a unique kind of a pattern. If I have two lines, where the two lines cross is distinctly different from where the lines don't cross.'

If we think of six-edged chain links (remembering that the tetrahedron is a six-edged pyramidal frame) we can envision the manner in which we may link tetrahedra in six different directions.

An alloy could be stronger where you had congruent centers of gravity-- that was a characteristic of metals. In fact, because the tetrahedron has six edges you could chain or link it in six ways to six others and they would not be vertex to vertex but edge to edge as linkage. So the metals were tetrahedronally organized too and Linus Pauling went on examining metal after metal. He has never found a metal yet which is not tetrahedrally organized."

"We cannot see the hands of the clock move. We cannot see life growing. We cannot see either the stars or the atomic components move, though they move at fantastic speeds. We can only see the ultra-slow motions of the clouds, locally running waters, human beings and other creatures, and their parts.
"No wonder that little man, who within his average lifetime has seen only about one-millionth of the surface of his planet, and has lived but a split-second of the astronomical ages, does not see and cope simultaneously with the larger evolutionary patternings and life aboard the planet Earth.

Index Entry
"How did the Universe come into being with its complete integrity, its comprehensively interaccommodative, omni-differentiated rates and methods of transforming? Such questions remain ever more importantly unanswered and seemingly unanswerable. Yet, all of our present customs, ways of thinking, and means of communication have been developed under the misapprehension that only the minuscule, millionth part of the physical Universe, which the peepholes of our perceptual senses reveal, comprises the whole of reality. Because humanity has deliberately fractionated the formal study of residual reality into ever more minute specializations, which continually know more and more about less and less, the residual preoccupations have lost sight completely of any of the comprehensive and infinitely inspirational mystery of totality. First pragmatism, then utter despiritization, have resulted. It is not God who died. It was sophisticated man who died, choked to death by the ever-tightening noose of specialization-- 'enlightened selfishness.'"

Mathematical concepts of group phenomena may be acquired in principle by the willingness (subjectively initiated) of the individual to be governed by the integrity of progressive conceptioning principle-- the objective synchronizations are implicit and unavoidable competence and comprehensive, realizable design will result. Let us ▯ pursue further the conceptioning in specifics of group principle.
It is not difficult to understand that the trends to synchronization by harmonic interval of one collection of events can seemingly and sumtotally create an aspect of such superficial incongruity in respect to the sumtotal collected harmonic events of other phases of functional disposition, of the differentiable Universe, as to predispose us to assume that there might never be synchronization of one major collection with another. We obviously incline to this predisposition by virtue of the persistence of the familiar in our own environmental close-up-- thought, which causes the dynamic inter-penetrations to appear as a static, rather than as a periodic-continuity environment reality.

"Misapprehension of our own dynamic significance becomes in environmental close-ups a bundle of persistent periodicities developing into a spontaneous anticipation of repetition of harmonic intervals and their familiar synchronization.
"So marked is our proclivity for such anticipation that we set ourselves as though we were alarm clocks to waken at specific blocks of intervals of familiar periodicities of experience. We relate our own heartbeat to minutes of hours of days, and our meals-- or chemical fueling-- to the days of the postman's coming and going, and even to periodicities such as invented Father's Days and other soon-familiar invented conventions, of the persistent, complex periodic continuities of our days into years. The invented periodicities may become only monotonous.
"Life in retrospect, however, may be informatively discovered to have been comprised of a progressive series of interruptions and penetrations of the successively latest a priori environment continuities-- by unfamiliar frequencies or biodynamic groups of frequencies, always occurring as unfamiliar to the ignorantly accepted trend to mono-tony."

"It is necessary that the comprehensive realizer ascertain in principle how the mathematical proportioning of experience is persuasive to the erroneous concept that the sum total bundle of already-experienced frequencies constitutes so unified, or well synchronized an experience whole as to have seemingly always been 'known.' The comprehensive realizer will discover that his adequacy as rearranger of local Universe, in principle, will, if competently effected, be acquired by men as an obvious accretion, and that the more competent his realizing-rearrangements of design, the less grateful the beneficiaries, which will be precisely the objective of the comprehensive realizer.

"The greatest overall misapprehension regarding the complex-continuities is that which assigns a static or 'at rest' analysis to the sum total sensation of individual experience and consequently to the sum total of all individuals' experience. Against the inertia of a seemingly static whole, each new harmonic incorporation of life therefore seemingly impinges as a dynamic perversity. This is why we frequently remark, 'Man tends to back up into his future.'
"In addition to the simple arithmetical, algebraic, and geometrical progressions of the first, second, and third degrees of acceleration, mathematics discloses other series, and superseries, of superficially unpredictable mathematical frequencies because they are composed of complementary and reciprocal numbers whose products alone, though never occurring"

The complementary functions must therefore impinge upon consciousness only as meaningless. As immediately contemplated upon first experience, they of necessity, alone, constitute seemingly absolute perversity of interference. 'Synergy---wholistic behavior unpredicted by parts.
"It is, therefore, the unpredictable degree of the super- and the supersuper- 'n' degrees of complex association of energy frequencies which seem most preposterous. We cannot view the great confluences of separately and remotely significant events forwardly resultant to now. Synergy is inherently surprising.
"When, however, these complexities are viewed in reverse, from the advantage of even the most mathematically supersuper-interference, the whole regains the acceptable sublimity of aspect, such as a fleet of little ocean racers 100 miles off Bermuda struggling with the waves of interference of the Atlantic turning the perversely interfering winds to advantage by virtue"

"The only difference between the Wright and the supersonic planes is the sum total of recurrent synchronized cyclic events known as the 'succession of design models'-- evolved in complex out of the physical experience with each trial balance of the designed complex effected by man, and as let loose after static-load-test-within-limited-controlled-conditions of variables, into the dynamic-load-tests within the unknown, uncontrolled, comprehensive and a priori design"

The uncharted residual function of Universe balances the special-set function of derived functions-- called from out of the total principles of energetic Universe by the designer as a newly realized mutation of species evolution accomplished by synergetic extension. "Though having no one common component part identification, the difference between the 1904 Wright Brothers' biplane and the 1963 superjet, supersonic, stratosphere monoplane is only a group difference of a minor complex of almost 60 packed years of experience with the same body of experience called airship; which, in turn, only specialized in a few of the greater body of principles called ship; which specialized in a few of the greater body of principles called Earth; which specialized in a few of the greater body of principles called motion; which specialized in a few of the greater body of principles called energy, which specialized as an original function for the comprehensive Universe.

"We can see that the concept of original separation of Universe into two inherent functions-- and the further subdivision and expansion of one function into a unique plurality of subsets of functions-- and subsequent acceleration of specialized experience with new design events of any one unique subset's evolution, as contrasted against another, can only accelerate superficial differences between any degrees of subsets.
"It is obvious that if the frequency of cyclic events differs in one geographical environment from another, the life within one environment may be accelerated to increasing degrees of experience over the life within another and, therefore, to sets of superficial difference of existence and trend. It can then be seen that what we might designate as natural education-- by induced self-discipline advantage-- represents an accelerated testing of objective-subjective experience, and that acceleration is natural and that natural education may potentially evaporate the inadequacy predilections of original vanity and superstitions and that the original springs of action may become obsolete as the realizations of intellect and the hitherto preoccupations with seeming frustration and self-destruction may be supplanted, through the self-disciplining"

Where, geographically speaking, of a priori unique environment continuities, the inherent periodicity of the occurrence of interference is at a relatively low frequency, then the rate of dissipation of ignorance is proportionally low, and vice versa.
The relatively lowest inherent periodicity of interference of forceful variables-- of experience in the dynamic environment (geography)-- occurs in the dry land near sea level in the region of the equator. The periodic frequency of interference by physical variables increases outwardly from the Earth's center into the colder climates of mountain and toward the Earth poles. The periodicity and magnitude of forceful interferences increase even more upon the seas, and yet more as man penetrates outwardly from the unique energy fixations of Earth into the cosmos of major categories of general dynamic principles.

"Each of the sumtotal variety of biological forms represents in simple principle the complex bundling of unique internal experience continuities, and the latter's individual accumulations of external periodic experience, within the greater bundle of persistently unique environmental sequences-- of variable geographic frequency bundle limitations. Humans have abstract 'tree rings' of experience.
"The circling bands of cross-sectioned tree or the scalloped terraces of the shellfish are convergently secreted structures (interference of higher order) of cyclic bundling of experiences. Wave embodiments of cyclic experience appear everywhere in the accredited morphology of nature's omnidirectional, convergent-divergent, synchronous-dissynchronous, infinite plurality of pulsating controls of interactive events in principle."

The cyclic wave accretions-- unique to parents and parent's parent-- make overlapping internal impressions of the periodic and cyclic interferences-structuring-by-accretion, prearranging thereby internal angles of the original turbining tendency of unfoldment, upon the gestating seed of periodic secretion of outside-in then inside-out pulsation-inversion which we call regenerative birth. This is, of course, a union of the infinite inwardness with the infinite outwardness to fulfill the comprehensive duality principle of uni-verse. Human egos are multiconcentric frequency 'halo' systems.
"As with the complex of synchronized convergent principles called airplane, compounded of the succession of flight experiences with a succession of 'improved' designs in-corpor-ating all previous experience in action-reaction juxtapositions (called structure and mechanics), a trend to further inclusion and refinement of accelerating acceleration of improvement is inherent, but always improvement is relative to the whole of already-secreted true experiences, whether as yet detected or not by the redesign-cycle mutators.

The relative, realized-complex trend accelerates itself in compounding degrees, whereby, eventually, the probability of numbers of immediately detected forward mutations to be refiningly anticipated exceeds in number the sum total of the previously secreted, or experienced, impressions, innately preoccupying the species division.
"A historical shift is now occurring in the scientific viewpoint, induced by this shift in balance of preponderant numbers of effective impressions, pre-and-post-natal, upon behavior probabilities of the various species to be affected preponderantly by the relative number of post-natal, periodic, and cyclic accelerations.

In closest packing of spheres "the third layer of 92 spheres contain eight new potential nuclei which however do not become active nuclei until each has three more layers surrounding it-- three layers being unique to each nucleus.

This is impressive for the system's three layers of 12, 42, 92 add to 146 which is the number of neutrons in uranium, which has the highest nucleon population of all the self-regenerative chemical elements-- and whose 146 neutrons plus the 92, unengaged mass attracting protons of the outer layer adds 92 to 146 giving the predominant uranium 238 from whose outer layer the excess two of each layer-- which functions as a neutral axis of spin-- can be disengaged, which leaves the chain reacting, uranium 236."

Q. Do you foresee the day when the phantom captains inhabit vessels of their own design?

Phantom Captain
← Phantom Captain | Phantom Captain →
Index Entry
An illuminating rationalization indicates that captains--being phantom, abstract, infinite, and bound to other captains by a bond of understanding as proven by their recognition of each other's signals and the meaning thereof by reference to a common direction (toward 'perfect')-- are not only all related, but are one and the same captain. Mathematically, since characteristics of unity exist, they cannot be nonidentical.

Index Entry
Phantom Captain:
"Common to all such 'human' mechanisms- and without which they are imbecile contraptions-- is theif guidance by a phantom captain.
"This phantom captain has neither weight nor sensorial tangibility, as has often been scientifically proven by careful weighing operations at the moment of the abandonment of the ship by the phantom captain, i.e., at the instant of 'death.'
He may be likened to the variant of polarity dominance in our bipolar electric world which, when balanced and unit, vanishes as abstract unity 1 or 0. With the phantom captain's departure, the mechanism becomes inoperative and very quickly disintegrates into basic chemical elements. . . ."

"When I entered Harvard I had all A's in mathematics and I took some more advanced math, and so I was able to catch on to the whole idea of geometric proofs. But I had the good luck to be insulated from all philosophy and such formal knowledge. They didn't tell you anything about Plato at Milton Academy. The nearest we got was the Platonic solids in solid geometry.
"I knew Shakespeare, and the Fairie Queen, and Thackeray, and all about the kings in history: who beheaded who and who put someone in a tower.

Photon
Index Entry
Photon:
"Max Planck's photons of light are separately packaged at the radiation source and travel in a group-coordinated flight formation spherical surface pattern which is ever expanding outwardly as they gradually separate from one another. Every photon always travels radially away from the common origin. This group-developed pattern produces a sum-totally expanding spherical wave-surface determined by the plurality of outwardly traveling photons, although any single photon travels linearly outwardly in only one radial direction. This total energy effort is exactly expressed in terms of the exponential second-power, or areal 'squaring,' rate of surface growth of the overall spherical wave; i.e., as the second power of the energy effort expended in lifting one gram in each second of time a distance of one 'vertical' centimeter radially outward from the origin center."

And the algae in the waters around the Earth's surface.

Impound the Sun's radiation by photosynthesis

Of all manner of creatures,

But physical science lacked the experience which might have persuaded it to hypothesize what all Universe it. Physical science therefore restricted its comprehensive accounting strategy to the special case of definitive isolations within the physical portion of Universe. This left the remainder of all experiences, no matter how earnestly and meticulously reconsidered, outside the definitive portion of comprehended experiences of Universe,i.e., the physicist said that all that is not physically encompassed as E = Mc² is metaphysical.

"Study of the child's discovery of spatial relationships-- what may be called the child's spontaneous geometry-- is no less rewarding than the investigation of his number concepts. A child's order of development in geometry seems to reverse the order of historical discovery. Scientific geometry began with the Euclidean system (concerned with figures, angles, and so on), developed in the 17th century to the so-called projective geometry (dealing with problems of perspective), and finally came in the 19th century to topology (describing spatial relationships in a general qualitative way-- for intance, the distinction between open and closed structures, interiority and exteriority, proximity and separation). A child begins with the last: his first geometrical discoveries are topological. At the age of three he readily distinguishes between open and closed figures: if you ask him to copy a square or a triangle, he draws a closed circle; he draws a cross with two separate lines. If you show him a drawing of a large circle with a small circle inside, he is quite capable of reproducing this relationship, and he can also draw a small circle outside or attached to the edge of the large one. All this he can do before he can draw a"

But this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano top. I think that we are clinging to a great many piano tops in accepting yesterday's fortuitous contrivings as constituting the only means for solving a given problem. Our brains deal exclusively with special-case experiences. Only our minds are able to discover the generalized principles operating without exception in each and every special-case experience case which if detected and mastered will give knowledgeable advantage in all instances.

The British Empire began as a subterfuge for Queen Elizabeth I to go into private enterprise with the East India Company....

"Penobscot, Blue Hill, and Frenchman's Bay were up to World War I the summer residence country of what Bucky Fuller speaks of as history's 'Great Pirates,' These were the men who ran the world as a consequence of their commanding the oceans of the Earth-- for the oceans of the Earth governed three-quarters of our planet. Because the laws invented and adopted by dry-land-dwelling people cannot be enforced either logically or practically over the ever moving ocean waters beyond their political entity's shores, the ocean seas are inherently outside the man-made laws. Only the physical laws of raw nature govern the seas.
"The high seas sailormen were inherently 'outlaws'-- therefore pirates. When one high seas crew seized another ship, she was called a prize into which they entered-- ergo, enterprize. Because the greatest pirates were, literally speaking, 'privately enterprising outlaws,' Bucky used the contracted form of this term, which is simply 'pirate', to identify them. The great pirates were inherently world people because they were masters of the World Ocean. Land people are local people and think locally. Ocean people are world people and think world."

The headquarters of the 'Greatest Pirates' were the British isles because the British Isles represented the unsinkable flagships commanding the majority of the best harbors of Europe where lived the richest customers for their world trade. The greatest pirates manned their ships with men from their shipyard's country. Because the most conveniently recruited or 'Shanghaied' their sailors from the British Isles waterfront saloons, their operation came to be called the 'British Empire' though such an empire was never the democratic ambition of the British Isles people. World-around sea battling narrowed the field of contenders for world supremacy. Finally there was established amongst the greatest pirates the top or IN pirates. The IN pirates called themselves 'sovereign' and called all the OUT pirates 'outlaws.'
When the North American colonists broke away from the greatest IN pirates in 1775, those British Isles-based great pirates came to America where, finding it impossible to dominate or conquer the colonists politically, they conquered their business world through financing acumen and control of the corporation shares.

"When World War I was declared in August 1914, the British Ambassador to the United States, Sir Arthur Spring-Rice was in residence at Isleboro in Penobscot Bay. That's where the great IN pirates were making their war defense plans. World War I was waged by the greatest OUT pirates against the great IN pirates. With its mighty new armored steel ships replete with modern mechanics, World War I was the first comprehensive world-around industrial technology and science war in history. It was waged around the whole planet Earth between the great IN and great OUT world pirates.
"World War I and its post-war decade saw the end of the world ruled by either the top IN or OUT great pirates. In World War I the great pirates lost their world mastery forever because the fundamental controls of the new world of industry, technology, and science went from wire to wireless communication, from tracked to trackless transport, and from visible to the invisible structural strengths of atomic element alloying. Concomitantly the controlling factors of science and technology founded industry went entirely out of human sight into the vast ranges of the nonsensorially tunable electromagnetic spectrum.

"Not long before the stock market crash of 1929 when the great pirates lost their world power by silent default, J.P. Morgan's great steam yacht, the 'Corsair' went on a reef entering Gilkey's harbor on Isleboro. No Morgan yacht had ever before touched a rock. The captain claimed the reef was uncharted. The 'Corsair' was floated safely off on the next tide. No one ever knew what happened to that captain. This event however was full of mystical foreboding of the great stock market crash that took place two months later. The great pirates went on the rocks forever.

His calculations showed an arithmetical progression in the rate of gain of the vital supplies and a geometrical progression in human reproduction. Darwin's 'Evolution' and his explanation of it as being caused by 'survival only of the fittest' was formulated 25 years after Malthus and successful survival of only a minor fraction of humanity-- by the shrewdest, toughest, swiftest, most farsighted, and hardest hitting-- seemed to be as scientific fact. To their thinking, any altruism was fatal.
"This was the basic conception upon which the great pirates and all the sovereignties which they established were operated. Neither they nor the rest of the world society ever foresaw an era of technology which would continually do much more with ever less resource investments per each function until, as today, suddenly, all unexpected by the world's economists, business-men, and politicians of all ideological persuasions, a 1/4-ton communications satellite outperforms the transoceanic message-carrying capability of 150,000tons of copper cables."

The invariable number which accomplishes this rating is h = 6.6 multiplied by 10^-27; whereas the gravitational constant = 6.6+ multiplied by 10^-8 grams per second 'squared.'"

"In synergetic geometry the vector equilibrium's mass value of 20 shows why nature requires that the cube's volumetric value of three be multiplied by Planck's empirically discovered, but heretofore scientifically inexplicable, constant 6.665--? to correct for the mistaken assumption by both mathematics and physics that the cube's volume was nature's logical volume of one-- instead of its actual volume of three, in nature's most economical system of both physical and metaphysical accounting. The physicist finds that nature is always most economical. Planck's empirical constant of correction was also required to remedy the mistaken assumption by physics that the cube of one centimeter to the edge, filled with water at four degrees centigrade (as the unity of the XYZ, 90-degree-coordinate, gram, temperature "second system") was also suitable as the basic unit of energy for computing radiational propagation. The 6.6 radiational constant correction, of the mistakenly assumed suitability of the cube and its conversion therby to the value of the vector equilibrium's base 20 also required the further 10^-27 reduction in size to reduce the gram of water's reference size to a photon's energy magnitude."

"The vector equilibrium's surface sphere growth rate of the second power also accommodates Newton's discovery of gravitation's mass attraction as being governed by the second power of the relative proximities of the masses, expressed in terms of their respective radii (or modular frequency.) The gravitational constant also requires the 6.66+1 correction of its gram-cube base to conform the vector equilibrium and requires a 10^-8 reduction of size to conform to the electron volt magnitude of energy."

All lines are curvilinear and ultimately close back on themselves, ergo short line increments are always segments of weak geodesic loopings. In the same way a plane is always just a local facet aspect of a system. Planes do not exist independent of systems. The nonsynergetic consideration and articulated employment of points, lines, and planes exclusive of system identities induces unconsidered, inexorably complex developments of covariant functions of always integrated generalized system laws. The unconsidered complex of omnidirectional event developments of an almost exclusively 'specializing,' self-considerate society occasions the continuous generation of unwanted problems at ever greater scale in twentieth century world affairs. A linear preoccupied strategical play scenario in Monte Carlo and Wall Street may win money while vitiating the wealth accounting system and deferring the realization and general distribution of synergetically augmented commonwealth.

Their term of office was predicated on the realization that they would have to go to the central meeting place in Philadelphia by foot or by horse over footpaths, Indian trails, or very small highways, stopping overnight at inns and talking with everybody along the way. And while in Philadelphia-- or later in Washington-- three or four important letters might come from Europe during the whole year you were there. Everybody at the capital knew what the letters said.

"My self-disciplining strategy of never losing the large-pattern comprehensivity doesn't mean that you have to disregard the particulars. For instance, when I was designing my stamped-out bathroom, doing the research for it, I discovered that there was one man in Toledo, Ohio, who designed all the toilet bowls in the U.S. His problem was largely one of manufacture, where the crude ceramics employed did not permit any fine tolerances.
"Scientists are simply not looking at plumbing. There is a feeling that pure scientists shouldn't stoop to that sort of nonsense. Nature spends a lot of time separating materials out into solids and liquid-- as you know if you've ever done any mining or refining. We should always pay close attention when nature does this kind of thing. If we employed stainless steel instead of ceramics we could have very fine tolerances and we wouldn't have to waste seven gallons just to flush one pint of waste.

Many scientists live in houses-- they look at the plumbing, often find that the plumbing isn't working, twiddle the knob, and send for the plumber. You know as architects that you do not design the plumbing which you buy. You design the superficial use and arrangement of fixtures which are designed by non-architects and manufactured by commerce for you. You are free only to choose the coloring of the bathroom tiles and the coloring of the fixtures. But what goes on back of the bathroom tile is not part of the architectural design. Even if you studied 'plumbing' and detailed the pipe layouts, your design would not be followed or even looked at. The layout would be as dictated by the plumbers' scientifically illiterate craft code and frequent whimsy.
The fact is that the plumbing system and the sewer system and the aqueduct system have not been importantly changed for 4,500 years. Only one improvement in the system was made, 100 years ago, in England. That was the development of the roof vented plumbing stack and water seal in plumbing fixtures to keep the sewer gases from entering the house.

"Hydraulics and aerodynamics and pneumatics-- Nature is using them in making trees and everything else, but we're just beginning to use them in buildings. This is the reason great trees can go through hurricanes. Nature uses the crystals only for tension; all the compression she uses hydraulics for. In between the molecules of liquids of the tree are the gases, so the branches away-- five tons, ten tons-- waving in the wind. And it's doing so because the hydraulics holds its shape under pressure in compression, with the very high tensile strength of the fibers, and the pneumatics there, taking all that shock.
"No man has built any buildings like that yet. That's the truth. That's the way nature does it. That's the way she designs you. You're a beautiful piece of design, and what a contrast you are to a stone fortress! Can you imagine architects saying I am unaesthetic because I didn't want to work with stone? Yes, Italy is beautiful: every stone laid by a prisoner. The reason you don't have stone buildings now is that a man has to earn a wage. If you pay him so he can live decently you can't afford to lay stone."

A fleet of ships maneuvering under power needs more room than do the ships of the same fleet when docked side by side. The higher the speed of the individual ships, the greater the sea room required. This means that the enclosed and pressurized molecules in pneumatic structural systems are accelerated in outward-bound paths by the addition of more molecules by the pump and, without additional room, each must move faster to get out of the way of the others.

"I have considered a great deal about footballs and balls and pneumatics from being a little kid. And I saw that as I pumped up my basketball or football, it went from supine . . . flat, into this beautiful firm condition. But this is because the molecules of gas were trying to get out of the system. And they got hot because they were in such action. The kinetics of gas are something easy for the brain to understand and feel... . the action of those individual molecules of gas. I saw all the molecules of gas were trying to get out of the system-- that gives it the high pressure-- and they were stretching it outwardly and so, therefore, the skin is designed to go the other way, holding it inwardly so that the skin is finite and comes back upon itself. And it represents a tensional force with the arrows bound inwardly, balancing all the molecules, bouncing, hitting it, caroming around every action having its reaction. So I began to see that it would be possible that geodesics could be similar to what could be called discontinuous compression/continuous tension, where every molecule has to have one it pushes from, like two swimmers in the middle of a tank."

Each one would have to be balanced, so a balanced pair... all the forces are caroming around... each one will represent one of the chords, the compression chords, which the two ends pressing outwardly glancing blows against the tension skin, which are trying to pull inwardly and they are pulling outwardly. So there's a net arrow outwardly in the middle of the chord against the net of arrows pointing inwardly. So... I saw this represents what the gases are doing and you could make discontinuous compression/continuous tension geodesic structures in this way. So all this came

I saw that in tension there is no limit-- you can make as big a pneumatic bag as you want.... I saw that in the comprehensive geodesically omnitriangulated tensegrity structure I would be able to go to unlimited spans, because your only limitation is tension. I've found that there is no inherent limit to cross section due to length. We get to where there is no cross section visible at all, as in the pull between the Earth and the Moon...

"The young life realizes that the older life is holding to the familiar, in opposition to evolution. This is an interesting point to identify the prescience of the poet. What man tends to call a poet is one whose sensitivity has not been so damaged, where the thoughts flow almost subconsciously, where all the tastebuds of sound have been undamaged and the communication capability is very, very high. Their full vision is unimpaired. Time and again the poet will say what the nonpoet will not dare to say. He is afraid to hear his own voice-- the poet's not. The poet's not afraid because he's not thinking in terms of his own voice. It's irrepressible; and so time and again poets have said very extraordinary things long before the rest of society recognized the significance of what they were saying."

What we speak of as a point is always eight tetrahedra converged to no size at all. The eight tetrahedra have been brought to zero size and are abstracted from time and special case. They are generalized. Though the empty vector equilibrium model is now sizeless, we as yet have the planes converging to intercept centrally indicating the locus of their vanishment. The locus of vanishment is the nearest to what we mean by a point. The point is the macro-micro switchabout between convergence and divergence.

"Absolutely straight lines or an absolutely flat plane would, theoretically, continue outwardly to infinity. . . The difference between infinity and finity is governed by the taking out of angular sinuses, like pieces of pie, out of surface areas around a point in an absolute plane. This is the way lampshaads and skirts are made. Joining the sinused fan-ends together makes a cone; if two cones are made and their open end, ergo infinitely trending, edges are brought together, a finite system results. It has two polar points and an equator. These are inherent and primary characteristics of all systems."

"Politicians are going to confess the obvious-- that no human beings can keep in mind all the special interests of all people and all the whereabouts and unique behaviors of all the resources of Earth. No human beings can persuade other people to behave in unfamiliar,untried ways, but the computer can integrate and disclose the critical information and be completely convincing... As the world game is played progressively it will disclose a myriad of politically untried, unprecedented yet effective ways of solving hitherto unsurmountable problems. These will become big news items of the world's press and international wire services. As man gets into more critical proximity to a full-scale World War Three, the people of the world will begin to say in increasing numbers, 'Now that we can see a way in which this and that can be done, we must obviously adopt the policies indicated by the World Game.' Popular pressures will gradually force world politics to yield to these mutually beneficial world game programs.

And we're blaming them, and it really is just that they don't have the capabilities. So we're at fault in asking them to solve the problems. I'm perfectly confident that no politician can ever yield to the other politician on the other side; he'd be a traitor and he'd be immediately displaced, because the other politician is waiting to displace him that way.

Politics
Index Entry
Politics are only appropriate to an economy of scarcity. Within the scarcity context politics play tricks short-of-war by which the successful politicians' side monopolizes the limited survival supply. Death by want-- i.e., by metabolic inadequacies is much slower than by the sword or gun and causes much more anguish and pain than that of the swift hero's death. Death by want imposed on many by the successful politicians' warfaring only with laws and police guns obscures the identity of their executioner from both the politicians and the slow-dying victim. Only if there is an inherent major life support inadequacy aboard our planet and even in the Universe, politics and politicians are valid functions of Universe. If there is a fundamental adequacy of life support aboard our planet which is as-yet popularly unrealized, politicians can go on playing their tricks in seemingly good conscience. But the politicians' self-deceptive scarcity game playing and the ultimately lethal consequences for many humans inherent in the politicians' one-sided victories tend to prolong and obscure from social consideration the now dawning scientific awareness of the technical feasibility of universal economic success for all.

Politics:
"We need not be against politicians to realize that their local preoccupations are futile. They have good convictions and are individually moved as human beings by what they regard as a responsibility to 'their' side or 'our' side. But every political ideology and all extant political systems assume that there is not enough to go around: it is either you or me; there can't be enough for both. So we eventually assume war; and that is the cause of the weapons race.
"The reasoning was once correct. When there is enough available a healthy human will eat three pounds of dry food a day, drink six pounds of water, and breathe 54 pounds of air: or six pounds net of oxygen. For most of the history of man on earth there has not been enough of that dry food and humanity has fought about this, time and again. Many times there has not been enough water; and humanity has fought over this. There has been no time when there has not been enough air. Humanity has so much air available that no one has even thought of putting meters on air and trying to make money out of it. But there are times, for example in a great theater fire, when humanity, completely unused to competing for air, finds itself suffocating and goes mad."

"In the years ahead, as man does become successful, the root cause of war will be eliminated. Scientists assure us over and over again that this is feasible. There can be enough energy and organized capability for all men to enjoy the whole Earth.
"This is the most important prediction I can make: in 10 years from now we will have changed so completely that no one will say that you have to demonstrate your right to live, that you have to earn a living. Within 10 years it will be normal for man to be successful-- just as through all history it has been the norm for more than 99 percent to be economic and physical failures.
"Politics will become obsolete."

RBF Definitions
RBF DEFINITIONS: Politics: "The unfamiliar complex of the new wealth accounting requirements of the evolving human experiences emerges as an aggregate of unique and popularly discerned everyday 'news' problems. In turn the popularly discerned inventory of problems altogether provides the raw materials to be processed by the Machinery of politics. It is the purpose of politics to digest the problems and to provide adequate accounting and readjustments to the unexpected and often disconcerting changes in the patterns of technical advantage realizations. Politics must thus implement life's continually increasing sweepout and penetration of Universe with a continually changing set of operational rules and accounting conventions."

Politica: Accessory After the Fact:
"Politica exists and will always exist-- but it must always be an accessory after the fact... an accessory after the fact of whatever the circumstances may be. So if you change the environment, the circumstances change and politics will have to have new problems. Politics can't really begin until you have a plow at hand, or a pick-axe at hand. They can't create that; and once you do have tools at hand, then you use them. And that becomes part of the circumstances. I'm not saying there isn't going to be political action, but it must be an accessory after the fact. So I can see that we can get the political mood, the mood of man, to simply demand that their political parties on both sides merely yield in a direction that neither of them ever thought of before. The one will not be yielding to the other man's policy at all. He'll be yielding to the computer. And I find that anybody can yield to the computers. He can't lose face by yielding to a machine."

If it does work it makes things obsolete that have been inadequate... Desperate people say 'I'm not going to pollute.' But oil is coming out of the refinery down there and people are using the automobile. People can't design their own automobiles. They can't design refineries as a body politic. Somebody has to take the trouble to discover how you refine and how you don't pollute. This can be done."

"Ignorant humans aboard Space Vehicle Earth are now screaming, "Pollution!" There is no such phenomenon. What they call pollution is extraordinarily valuable chemistry essential to Universe and essential to man on Earth. What is happening is that the egocentricity of omnispecialized man makes him ignorant of the value with which his processing is confronting him. The yellow-brown content of fume and smog is mostly sulfur. The amount of sulfur going out of the smokestacks around the world each year is exactly the same as the amount of sulfur being taken from the Earth each year to keep the world ecology going. It would be far less expensive to catch that sulfur while concentrated in the stack, and to distribute it to the original users, than tb do the original mining and to get it out of human lungs, etcetera, when all the costs to society over a deteriorating 25 years are taken into account. But humanity insists on holding to this year's profits, crops, and elections. World society is lethally shortsighted."

"For the strange carelessness of urban society in polluting and corrupting the beauty of the environment is an inherited precedent set by big corporation factories belching smoke into the sky and vomiting chemical residues into the waters. Finding one's self born within the ugly city streets with no fundamental outlet for the innate energies and explorational initiatives, breeds early contempt for the environment and for those who perpetuate its inadequacies. Because humanity has been born without asking so to be, and must frequently grow within environments which disregard their developing needs, most of society tends to cast aside its refuse in unmeditated disdain for the economic masters who seem exclusively preoccupied with making quick profits out of men's desperately vital needs."

"I was told by the chief engineer of Combustion Engineering that the apparatus for precipitating all of the fumes, particularly the sulfur which makes the public utilities the worst urban sky polluters, was in complete mechanical solution. I asked what the additional cost per kilowatt hour would be if the apparatus were installed. The answer was 25 percent additional.
"On speaking to the Edison Electric utility managers I pointed this out and was told by them that the chief customers were industries and that the industries only buy from them because the public utilities can provide power at only a fraction less than it would cost the companies to produce their own. Therefore, if they did add the 25 percent, the public would gladly pay but their prime customers would forsake them; ergo, they could not do so.
"The sulfur coming out of all the world's chimneys annually exactly equals what we are taking out of the Earth annually to supply industry's rubber making and other such needs.

"Nature has no exclusively polluting substances. All physical substances consist of complexes of some of the 92 regenerative chemical elements all of which are essentials at different frequencies of time and in different magnitudes to the success of eternally regenerative Universe. Pollution is a word invented by and manifesting human ignorance.
"Many metallic elements may be combined to produce special behavior alloys which other elements serve as catalyzers, and so forth, while altogether accommodating all of Universe's intetransformative capabilities with only a few of which humanity is as yet familiar and many of which may be essential to humanity's future survival and service functions."

"Clearly the problem won't be solved until central governments make complete precipitation mandatory and rebate the costs thereof from the annual taxes of the industries while forcing the utilities to turn over to the central government all the valuable chemical elements recovered. The governments would find their stockpiles worth many times what they seemingly were losing in tax rebates. The saving to governments in medicare and general pollution-caused deteriorations would be profound. The computers would soon inform the government that they were saving so much money that they could almost completely eliminate taxes.

"If the Earth was flat-- out to infinity-- there'd be infinite room to pollute. You just get rid of it. It goes to infinity. That's been the practical idea up to now. And if it went to infinity there'd be an infinite amount of resources to replace the resources we've exhausted. That's been our experience in the past. Let's be practical. Let's get down to Earth! That's the way it is. . . . And then look at the extraordinary editorial in yesterday's N.Y. Times quoting Maurice Stans, the Secretary of Commerce, saying let's go slow on environmental controls: if it gets in the way of making money, we can't afford it. I think it is a most ghastly demonstration of the magnitude to which humans are really entrapped by shortsightedness and selfishness. Now I don't think ill of any of my fellow men. Each one has his own evolutionary pattern, but I am intent, wherever I can, to free my fellow men of the entrapment in ignorance and shortsightedness. . ."

And there's an infinite amount of space in which you can get rid of all your filth as you waste all those resources. But in a closed system you can't do that-- and that's the kind of system we're in. We have anything but an infinite number of resources! We have just enough to make the experiment."

Pollution: Infinite Room to Pollute:
"Thinking of Universe only as an infinitely extensive plane, humanity felt itself logically justified in throwing away its refuse outside the boundaries of its particular domain-- there was infinity into which all pollution would be ultimately dissipated into infinite innocuousness. It meant nothing to dump a teacup into an infinite ocean. If there is an infinitely extended world, then we may assume that when we exhaust the present familiar resources, we will, as in the past, keep on finding new and better alternate resources, ad infinitum-- so why should we worry and be fussy. Never mind about tomorrow. Never mind about the other fellow. The more ruthlessly selfish one is, the better off is one and all his dependents."
"So the difference between closed system surfaces and a closed Universe in respect to the utterly open, infinite flat slab world concept with which man has been ignorantly rationalizing all past experience, is the 'similar difference' between humanity's extinction or its continuation upon this beautifully equipped and provisioned, closed system, space vehicle Earth. It is clearly to be utopia or oblivion-- and no half measures. We must begin today to expose our youth and ourselves to the fundamental self-discipline conceptioning which is the only real educational process." 13Nov. '>' fleetrusPEECEHF,p.p.22-23

"When world realization of its unlimited wealth has been established there as yet will be room for the whole of humanity to stand indoors in greater New York City, with more room for each human than at an average cocktail party.
"We will oscillate progressively between social concentrations in cultural centers and in multideployment in greater areas of our Spaceship Earth's as yet very ample accommodations. The same humans will increasingly converge for metaphysical inter-course and deploy for physical experiences."

"There has been a great debate about the so-called population explosion in recent years. . . The cause of the bulge in census population is, of course, that more people are living longer. But the underlying reality of the population problem, if there is a problem, is that as we industrialize the rate of births decrease. . . Clearly, as man industrializes and improves the probability of human survival, whatever the drives or controls of nature are, she does not have to have anywhere as many birth 'starts.' This is one of the fundamental points about industrialization. . . which will be world wide by 1985." - Cite THE YEAR 2000, San Jose State College, 1966 Column 4.

"Desirable time investment alternatives inherently decrease overall baby-making time. That explains 'the rich getting richer and the poor getting children.' Prime designing commands the fundamental solution of the overpopulation threat. As with all the fundamental problems of man on Earth fundamental solutions are not to be had by political reforms of either the peacetime prohibitory law enforcement variety, or of the never convincing wartime annihilation variety. Fundamental solutions are not for sale. Mass subscriptions to support professional do-gooders are futile.
"Fortunately population explosion is only the momentary social hysteria's cocktail conversation game. Real population crisis is fundamentally remote. There is room enough indoors in New York City for the whole 1963 world's population to enter, with room enough inside for all hands to dance the twist in average nightclub proximity. There is ample room in the New York streets for one-half the world's population to amble about in, leaving enough room inside buildings for the other half to lie down and sleep. This would be a good moment to call for all scientists, engineers, tool makers, machine fitters, mechanics, and aircraft pilots present, all of whom"

There are many prognostications about immediate technology... It is all Buck Rogers and it will happen. But, such speculation is a waste of time, it is more important to consider what will happen to our relationship one with another.
In its broadest aspect this area must be considered under 'population.' There has been a great debate about the so-called population explosion in recent years. This has been occasioned in part by the fact that we have only recently had accurate census in many countries. Even in Europe population figures only go back a short time.
In the USA, though there was an increase in the post-war birth rate between 1947 and 1954, since then it has declined. This trend is also evident in all the industrialized countries, including Russia. During the last 12 years then the birth rate has been declining in the industrialized countries, yet the main problem is thought to be population increase. The cause of the bulge in census population of these countries, is of course, that more people are living longer. But the underlying reality of the population problem, if there is a problem, is that as we industrialize, the rate of birth decreases. We may see this most clearly in, for example, the US, where the

"the early settlers had an average of 13 children per family and survival rate was very poor. We may then plot the decrease in number of children per family against improvement in technological services, public health, indoor water supply, bathrooms, refrigeration, general improvement in life expectancy, and so on. Clearly as man industrializes and improves the probability of human survival, whatever the drives or controls of nature are, she does not have to have anywhere as many birth 'starts.' This is one of the fundamental points about industrialization.
"We should also consider the rate at which countries become industrialized. England took 200 years to get industrialization going and up to the present level. The US 'took off' from England's vantage point and did it in 100 years. Russia came in and accomplished in 50 what had taken the USA 100 years, because it was able to start at a more advantageous point. We find the new countries come in where others left off, not where they started. Japan did not start flying with the Wright Brothers bi-planes, but with the 'Zero' and 'Spitfire' types; China has never flown anything but jets. China came into the world of industrialization after the transistors, computers, and atomic fission were available-- so she will come to indus"

"trial parity with the west in about five years. India will probably be even faster. The acceleration of capabilities coming to bear on India and Africa are of the very highest. As far as one can see, industrialization will be worldwide by 1985.
"By this date, as the world industrial process is completing, and birth rates reducing, every individual human being will still have about ten acres of dry land and approximately 20 acres of ocean averaging half a mile deep. In terms of a family of five that would be 50 acres of land and 100 acres of ocean--150 acres per family. The amount of food supply would be ample.
"We may glimpse in such patterning certain total behaviors in Universe that we know little about. We noted, for instance, that as survival rate and life sustaining capability increased fewer birth starts were required. This may be related to our developing capacities in interchanging our physical parts, of producing mechanical organs, of having progressively fewer human organisms to replenish. The drive in humanity to reproduce as prodigally as possible decreases considerably. This may be reflected in social behaviors-- when all the girls"

"begin to look like boys and boys and girls wear the same clothes. This may be part of a discouraging process in the idea of producing more babies.
"We shall have to stop looking askance on trends in relation to sex merely as a reproductive capability, i.e., that it is normal to make babies. Society will have to change in its assessment of what the proclivities of humanity may be. Our viewpoints on homosexuality, for example, may have to be reconsidered and more wisely adjusted.
"Central to such readjustment will be the concept that man is not alone the physical machine he appears to be. He is not merely the food he consumes, the water he drinks, or the air he breathes. His physical processing is only an automated aspect of a total human experience which transcends the physical. As a knot in a series of spliced ropes of manila, cotton, nylon, etc., may be progressively slipped through all the material changes of thickness and texture along the length yet remain an identifiable pattern configuration, so man is an abstract pattern integrity which is sustained through all the physical changes and processing."

"We become more aware of this uniqueness of organizing principle in the Universe, in science. The long-held myth that science wrests order out of chaos is fast disappearing & in due ratio to the extent that all great scientists have found the Universe to exhibit an a priori orderliness. All the various specialties are discovering that their variously remote studies which seemingly 'ordered' local aspects of nature are converging within progressively simpler and more comprehensive patterns. The 'ordering' is coming together. When we refer to the computer and automation'@ taking over we refer really to man's externalization of his internal and organic functions into a total organic system which we call industrialization. This metabolic regenerating automated organism is going to be able to support life in an @extraordinary way. The machines will increasingly assume various specialized functions. Man who was born spontaneously comprehensive but was focused by survival needs into specialization is now to be @ brought back to comprehensivity.

"We are going to have an increasing number of human beings as scientists and philosophers thinking about the total significance of human experience and realizing that there is an intellect far greater and far more powerful than that of man-- and anticipatory of the whole trend of his development. An era of extraordinary integrity might ensue.
"This would be for me, the most important and exciting aspect of all the trend curves-- that in A.D. 2000, to a marked extent, the integrity of humanity will be of an unbelievably high order. What one human being says to another regarding what he thinks or what he has observed, will be reliable. There will be play-acting still, but it will very clearly be play-acting.

Man had to do many things shortsightedly and we have wasted a great deal of our natural heritage. We have squandered the fossil fuels which represented an extraordinary 'savings' or energy capability account stored up in the Earth. The great change now will be in a new type of accounting when we begin to draw more consciously on the fabulous 'income' energies of Sun, water, wind, and tidal powers-- which, if not used, will not be 'saved' or impounded on the Earth. We will adopt new accountancy standards for all wealth. To account our success in terms of gold and various traditional banking practices is irrelevant. Real wealth is organized capability. One of its major characteristics is that it is irreversible. No matter how much wealth you have, you cannot change one iota of yesterday. Wealth can only be used now and in the future. What we really mean by wealth is how many days forward we have energy available and organized for work to keep the machines running, to keep the foods growing, the refrigeration, transportation, and so on. The basis for our new accounting system will be 'How many forward days of organized capability do we have available to serve how many men'. We will be able to make the working assumption that it is normal not only for man to be successful but also normal for him to move as freely as he wishes without interfering with any other man.

"accounting assumption will be based on whatever amount of organized energy capability is required so as to make it possible for any man to travel around and enjoy the whole Earth, and be completely supported in doing so. There will be no such thing as deficit accounting. You cannot live on deficit accounting. You cannot eat deficitly or drink water deficitly. What is to eat is there-- as the water is there.
"All such negative accounting procedures went along with the need for exploiting others in the 'you or me' phase of man's past struggle for basic survival.
"Much of the most exciting and important part about tomorrow is not the technology or the automation at all, but that man is going to come into entirely new relationships with his fellow men. He will retain much more in his everyday relations of what we term the naivete and idealism of the child. This will be completely justified and not exploited or exploitable in any way. I think then that the way to see what tomorrow is going to look like is just to look at our children."

Number powers refer to the number of times any given number is multiplied by itself. While empty set numbers may be theorized as multipliable by themselves, so long as there is time to do so, all experimental demonstrability of science is inherently time limited. Time is the only dimension. It is expressable as frequency.

Re Equation 10 P² + 2:
"That is a very interesting kind of mathematics for you to think about for certain reasons. To start off, you have second power. This second power is a number characterizing layers or surfaces. What we use for surface is a shell-- in a sense it becomes the 'surface' or a package in the system. I get a bigger package and I can tell what the number is by using the second power. We have been very used to using second power for the surface of a cube or any other thing. We say the linear measure is first power; this is the radius or edge of the cube and the surface is the second power, and the volume is the third power. Second power has been connected uniquely with surface area and it is still the surface or the shell. But what it is showing is very interesting: there is no continuous shell, there are actually only points. They are little spheres. You can have this very high frequency and we would be counting the points in the shell, and not the surface as a whole, so we find second power representing points in the system and not surface. . . What we really discover in physics is that there are no such things as solids, and there are no such things as surfaces, because what we simply meant was a solid surface.

We have been used to the idea of the second power for plotting the solid surface. In the quantum and wave phenomena, they have been dealing in individual packages that do all of their accounting. They don't have continuous surface at all. Suddenly we find here then a congruence of the phenomena we have been very familiar with, the second power, and we understand it now to mean the shell and you can identify the second power with points or little separate packages and not as a continuous solid surface. You could relate it to little energy actions, little separate stars, and you are coming out all right. This is what you really mean by quantum. Now you have actually conceptuality in respect to the quantum.

"Science had thought that it was impossible to be conceptual because it had felt that fourth dimensionality which had been showing up time and again as an arithmetical behavior of the physics, could not be accommodated by the XYZ coordinate system and it can be accommodated by synergetics. Why can it be? Because the vector equilibrium has a volume of 20. You can get eight cubes around one point, and so the third power of two, which is eight, has used up all the space, but using the tetrahedra I can get a volume of 20 around one point as I do in the vector equilibrium. Twenty is two to the fourth power plus two to the second power and it makes it quite possible to make models of fourth powering by using tetrahedroning. In fact we find vector equilibrium is unity because its edge module is one, as is the cube the module of one. It is when it is one, when it is unity, that its volume is 20. When its edge module is two, it is two to the third power times 20 which is 160 and the volume is 160 where the edge module is two. It will accommodate very high powering, the sixth powering, and so forth. It makes possible the actual modelling of the multi-powers that have characterized some of the physics and some of the chemistry which have not been modellable before and had only been treatable mathematically-- and calculatable but

"not modellable. Now that they are modellable again, we find that modellability goes with using the right coordinate system and therefore conceptuality and modelability has returned and is valid so that we will probably have an entirely new kind of day dawning for man because it is going to mean that it is possible for the scientist really to talk to the kindergarten children and these are very simple increments. We are not having any numbers that are not easy to handle in the very earliest phases, so the coordinating capability of the child is going to be able to accommodate the nuclear physics and that is a very new kind of day."

'Second powering' in this topology is identifiable only with the vertexes and not with something we call 'area,' i.e., not with a surface or an experimentally nondemostrable continuum.
There are no topologically indicated or implied surfaces or solids. Because the vertexes are the external points--the higher the frequency of the system, the more dense the number of external points. We discover then that 'second powering' does not refer to 'squaring' or to surface amplification but to the number of the system's external vertexes in which equating the second power and the radial or circumferential modular subdivisions of the system multiplied by the prime number one if a tetrahedral system; by the prime number two if an octahedraal system; the prime number three if a triangulated cubical system; and the prime number five if an icosahedraal system; each multiplied by two and added to by two will accurately predict the number of superficial points of the system. This fact eliminates our dilemma of having to think of the second and third powers of systems as referring exclusively to continuum

". . . Whereas we can only get eight cubes around a point. . . 90 degreeness uses up all the space around a point. When I am dealing in 60 degreeness, when I am using tetrahedron as unity, we can get the whole volume of 20 tetrahedra around one point. The tetrahedron is unity. Then we are getting 20 around a point instead of eight around a point. Eight is the third power of two. When I have a stack of cubes coming together around a point, the edge count is two cubes. Unity is two there. There is just one set of radii from the center of gravity in the system and you can only have a total volume of eight which is the third power of two. If I have a volume of 20 around a point, then two to the fourth power is 16, plus two to the second power. I can then accommodate two to the fourth power plus two to the second power around a point. It is very easy to make models of the fourth dimensionality. We discover that when we do that-- this is what we call the vector equilibrium-- the edge count is now one. When the edge count is one we have a vector equilibrium, not two as in the cubes. The volume is 20. You start with unity as 20. . . And we find that we are able to accommodate sixth powering."

The vector equilibrium at initial frequency (frequency²) manifests the fifth powering of nature's energy behaviors. Frequency begins at two. The vector equilibrium of frequency² has a prefrequency, inherent tetravolume of 160 (5 x 2² = 160) and a quanta-module volume of 120 x 24 = 1 x 3 x 5 x 2² nuclear-centered system as the integrated product of the first four prime numbers; 1, 2, 3, 5. Whereas a cube at the same frequency accommodates only eight cubes around a nonnucleated center.

Index Entry
Precession:
"Precession is the intereffect of individually operating cosmic systems upon one another. Since the Universe is an aggregate of individually operative systems all of the intersystem effects of Universe are precessional and the 180-degree imposed forces usually result in redireActional resultants of 90 degrees.
"Gravity's 180-degree circumferential omniembracement effect results in a 90-degree inwardly effected pressure which gains rapidly in intensity as the initially sixfold leverage advantages of the circumferentially tensed embracement gains exponentially in locally induced pressure as the radial distance outwardly from the sphere's center is decreased.
"The Sun's direct 180-degreeness interattraction pull upon Earth begets precessionally the latter's 90-degreeness orbiting around the Sun. And the Earth's circumferential orbiting direction begets the Earth's own 90-degreeness of axial rotation. The Sun's radiational 180-degree impingements upon Earth's waters begets 90-degree circumferential cloud travel, which in turn begets 90-degree radially inward precipitation."

Precessional 180-degrees efforts beget 90-degree effects such as the Sun's radiation impoundment on Earth by the photosynthesis of agriculture (around the land) and photosynthesis of algae (around the waters of Earth), which regeneration occurs as precessionally impounded life-sustaining foods. The 180-degree Sun radiation effect precesses Earth's atmosphere in 90-degree circumferential direction as wind power, which wind power in turn precesses the windmills into 90-degree rotating.
All the metaphysical generalizations of physical principles produce physical indirect acceleration effects which are precessional.
Leverage, Sun power, wind power, tidal power, paddles, cars, windlasses, fire, metallurgy, cooking, slings, gears, electromagnetic generators, and metabolics are all 180-degree effort that result in 90-degree precessional intereffects.

"Gravity's 180-degree circumferential tension, as omniembracement effect, begets 90-degree effects; as for instance, the Sun's direct 180-degreeness begets 90-degreeness of orbiting; and the orbitings' directional 180-degreeness begets the 90-degreeness of axial rotation.
"The Sun's radiational 180-degree impingements upon the Earth's waters beget 90-degree evaporation and circumferential cloud traveling, which, in turn, beget 90-degree rain precipitation.

"Mass attraction is also involved in precession, which is another of the important, but popularly unknown, generalized principles.

"I'm sure a number of you have been with me at previous lectures and you may have seen these / two sets of 10 closest-packed spheres--see sec. \hrefhttps://www.buckyverse.org/en/synergetics/content/chapters/200-synergetics#section-260.50260.50 _, but the majority of you, I am sure, still have not been with me all this time. I know that four years ago I was asked to speak at a congress of mathematics teachers in Oregon and there were 2000 mathematicians there and I asked them if any of them were familiar with the se objects. And they said 'No.' And I said would any of them be willing to come up on the stage with me and put them together in a way that we would all agree is the way. There is a the way.
"So one of them came up and he looked them over, and he saw these two quadrangles and he tried matching those... then he saw two triangles and he tried matching those... then he saw these--what we call trapezoids--and he tried matching those. So then he tried to put them together like that, and that didn't seem to be too impressive either. Then he tried what we might call like a raft and that wasn't too good either. So he started all over again and I saw he wasn't getting anywhere, so I said I'm going to have to show you how to do it."

Precession of Two Sets of 10 Closest-packed Spheres:
"One reason that this is not self-evident is that because, in all the great motions employed by Universe, there are six fundamental kinds of motion and five of them very familiar: spinning, orbiting, turning inside-out, expanding, and torquing.... These are very well-known fundamental behaviors of nature. But there's a sixth one called precession. And you say: I don't remember... I've heard of it. I've heard of the word precession, but that's about the most people can do....
"Precession is one of the most important things to understand-- and its the mistaken 180-degreeness that finds humanity missing a lot. At any rate, I'm going to precess these (two sets of 10 closest-packed spheres) now at 90 degrees. OK? And I'm going to now put them together and obviously they are now not going to fit! (Applause.) And the reason you didn't see that--and the thing about it is--that you all went to school being taught the XYZ coordinates of parallels and perpendiculars.... And you try to bring in together perpendicularly. But Universe is not operating that way. Universe is operating in radiational-divergence and gravitational-convergence. Divergent and convergent: that's the way Universe operates. This is nothing like the XYZ coordinates"

"and all that--they have nothing to do with the way the Universe works. Things in parallel never get resolved. Convergent things get beautifully resolved, they get exactly ... they get nature int a corner. that's why you couldn't have a nucleus in a perpendicular parallel system. You can only have nuclei when you have convergence. And's that's why I say how far out our schooling really is."

There are six edges of a tetrahedron, and each edge precesses the opposite edge toward a 90-degrees-maximum of attitudinal difference of orientation. Any two discrete opposite edges can be represented by two aluminum tubes, X and Y, which can move longitudinally anywhere along there respective axes while the volume of the irregular tetrahedra remains constant, They may shuttle along on these lines and produce all kinds of asymmetrical tetrahedra, whose volumes will always remain unit by virtue of their developed tetrahedra's constant base areas and identical altitudes. The two tubes' four ends produce the other four interconnecting edges of the tetrahedron, which vary as required without altering the constantly uniform volume.

"I began to initiate such a 'regenerative tree' √See Trees strategy in experimental undertakings in structures about a third of a century ago. I gave myself the task of exploring the practicality of assembling the components of buildings under the most preferred conditions of technology and science, in order to achieve a very high degree of efficiency. This collection of components had to be capable of economical air transport to any part of the Earth. I saw that the essentials were local hydraulics and pneumatics and generalized tensional packages-- broadly speaking. Familiar examples of this are all kinds of pneumatic structures, from inflatable toy sea horses and life rafts to dirigibles. Beyond these, there are very complex structures. For examples, I have made geodesic domes-- omnitriangulated spheres-- with pneumatic components. Geodesic tensegrity spheres are highly magnified, pneumatic principle structures."

"The hydraulics possibilities include the local cements, water, air, gravel, sand, and rocks. The economic theory behind prestressed concrete is based on prefabrication and shipping only the small bulk of steel as a tensional sinew system, and applying the local water, sand, gravel, and cement as the building bulk. The particles which make up cement are sifted sand and gravel, which, though they look rough, pack averagedly as spheres would pack-- in 60-degree angular packing. Few people think of cement that way, but if it is shaken down, agitated well, and lubricated together with a colloid, it will automatically avail itself of nature's tetrahedral structuring in closest packing pattern."

"This principle of tensional blueprints-- prestressed concrete is an example-- is manifesting itself as the direction which building will take. In order to make the resources of the Earth adequate to the needs of all people, we must increase the performance per pound of those resources in a very big way, thus giving man environmental controls. This must be done to accommodate all the new shifting patterns of man around the face of the Earth. We will have to employ nature's much more economical grand logistical strategies. Emulating nature, man must distribute mathematical information as basic pattern, which does not weigh anything at all. The highly technical components of very fine high-tension steels and aluminums and fine alloys can then be centrally processed and distributed. Those will be used primarily for tensional functions, and will be rigidified by the local compressional pneumatics and hydraulics.... This is the most comprehensive statement that I could make regarding the most recent discovery of nature's forever permitted structural strategies."

Systems divide all Universe into all of the Universe occurring outside the system, all of the Universe occurring inside the system, and the remainder of the Universe constituting the system itself. Any point or locus inherently lacks insideness. Two event points cannot provide enclosure. Two points have betweenness but not insideness. Three points cannot enclose. Three points describe a volumeless plane. Three points have betweenness but no insideness. A three-point array plus a fourth point which is not in the plane described by the first three points constitutes prime enclosure. It requires a minimum of four points to definitively differentiate cosmic insideness and outsideness, i.e., to differentiate macrocosm from microcosm, and both of them from here and now."

Prime Hierarchy of Symmetric Polyhedra:
"It was our synergetics' discovery and strategy of taking the two poles out of Euler's formula that permitted disclosure of the omnirational constant relative abundance of the V's, F's, and E's, and the disclosure of the initial additive twoness and multiplicative twoness whereby the unique prime number relationships of the prime hierarchy of omnisymmetric polyhedra occurred, showing Tetra = 1; octa = 2; cube = 3; VE or Icosa = 5."

Prime Nuclear Structural Systems:
"All prime nuclear structural systems have one-- and only one-- (unity two) interior vertex.
"Nuclear structural systems consist internally entirely of tetrahedra which have only one common interior vertex: omnicorvertex.
"In nuclear structural system each of the surface system's external triangles constitutes the single exterior facet of an omnisystem-occupying set of inter-triple-bonded tetrahedra, each of whose single interior-to-system vertexes are congruent with one another at the convergent nuclear center of the system.
"In all nonredundant prime nuclear structural systems the congruently interior-vertexed, omnisystem-occupying tetrahedra of all prime structural systems may all be interiorly truncated by introducing special case frequency, which provides chordal as well as radial modular subdivisioning of the isotropic-vector-matrix intertriangulation of each radial, frequency-embracing wave layer, always accomplished while sustaining the structural rigidity of the system."

"Prime otherness was first hypothetically discovered in the early 1920's and was identified by the term 'fundamental complementarity.'
"Prime otherness has been experimentally evidenced in 1956 when the Nobel prize was given for the proof that the complementaries were inherently dissimilar, non-mirror-imaged systems. For instance, proton and neutron always and only coexist; they are interchangeable but have different masses and other dissimilar characteristics.
"The limit case of prime otherness is that of the point and the no-points; the events and the novants. Numerically, one vs.zero. Because it is the limit case it is prime. Zero is prime otherness."

There are three types of omnitriangular, symmetrical structural systems. We can have three triangles around each vertex; a tetrahedron. Or we can have four triangles around each vertex; the octahedron. Finally we can have five triangles around each vertex; the icosahedron.
The tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron are made up, respectively, of one, two, and five pairs of positively and negatively functioning open triangles.
We cannot have six symmetrical or equiangural triangles around each vertex because the angles add up to 360 degrees--thus forming an infinite edgeless plane. The system with six equiangular triangles 'flat out' around each vertex never comes back upon itself. It can have no withinness or withoutness. It cannot be constructed with pairs of positively and negatively functioning open triangles. In order to have a system, it must return upon itself in all directions.

The domain of an icosahedron is an icosahedron as defined by 12 spheres closest packed without a nucleus. All of the three foregoing non-nuclear-containing domains of the tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron are defined by superficially omnitriangulated closest packing of the four spheres, six spheres, and 12 spheres, respectively, which we have defined elsewhere as omnitriangulated systems or as prime structural systems.

You can't have six because it would be flat and would not come back on itself to close the system. It would be neither concave nor convex. We have the positive and negative condition of these three things. Remember that you cannot have a polygon of less than three sides. So the triangle is minimum polygon; it is the only polygon that is inherently stable. We have learned that the triangle stabilizes itself with minimum effort, so we learn that triangulated systems are the systems of the least effort. If they are equilateral triangles then all the system is of equal effort in all directions... so that there are only three possible cases: tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron."

Prime Vector:
"All structural accounting of nature is accomplished with rational quantities of tetrahedra. The XYZ coordinates may be employed to describe the arrangements, but only in awkward irrationality because the edge of the cube is inherently irrational in respect to the cube's facial diagonal. The hypotenuses actually function only as the edges of the positive and negative tetrahedra which alone permit the cube to exist as a structure. The hypotenuses connect the sphere centers at the cube corners; they function concurrently and simultaneously as the natural structuring of the tetrahedra edges in the omnidirectional isotropic vector matrix; as either hypotenuse or tetra edge they are prime vectors."
"Of the eight corners of the cube only four coincide with the sphere centers of closest-packed, unit-radius spheres; therefore only the cube's facial diagonals can interconnect closest packed spheres. One closed set of six cube face diagonals can only interconnect four sphere centers corners of the prime tetrahedron which alone provides the structural stability of the cube, whose eight-cornered, structural stability completeness requires the saturation of the alternate set of six diagonals"

Prime Vector:
"in each of the cube's six faces, which alternate set of six diagonals intertriangulates the other four sphere centers of the cube's eight corners. The cube diagonals and the edges of the tetrahedra structuring the cube are two aspects of the same phenomenon. The tetra-edge, cube-face diagonals connecting the two sets of four corners each of the cube's total of eight corners are the prime vectors of the vector equilibrium and the isotropic vector matrix.
"The second power of the length of the prime vector that constitutes the diagonal of the cube's face equals the sum of the second powers of any two edges of the cube. Because these two edges converge at the cube's corners to form one standing wave which may be multifrequenced to apparently coincide with the cube's facial diagonal, we discover that this relationship is what we are talking about in the deliberately nonstraight line. It is the same mathematical relationship demonstrated in the ancients' proof of the Pythagorean theorem, wherein the square of the hypotenuse is proven to be equal to the sum of the squares of the triangle's two legs. Thus the deliberately nonstraight line displays an evolutionary transformation from coincidence with the two sides of the parallelogram to "

"I've worked very hard on my audiences to make sure that they understand that it's only the human mind that is able to discover those eternal principles that are operative, governing the eternal regeneration of the Universe. Humans are here for functioning in a special capability of reference to the eternal laws. When you have something as complex in design as the Boeing 747 you have to have all those instruments up forward and every once in a while the instruments tell the pilot that they're non functioning-- or they're not saying anything. It tells the pilot he's got to take over now himself, not to rely any more on automatic and only by direct access to the principles of the Universe can he possibly save his ship.
"The Universe must be a problem of design of eternal regeneration, a design that makes the Boeing 747 look like a toothpick in simplicity compared to the complexity of eternally regenerative Universe. There must be some local things that go on as there would be in the Boeing 747, where you find out where the stresses are, or where the heat is: something you've got to attend to. You need a local monitor on some part of the Universe... and that's what we're here for.

That's all they do. They are improvised to make that which is fundamentally inadequate work 'after a fashion.'
"There are four kinds of privacy: if I can't touch you, we're tactilely private; if I can't smell you, we're olfactorily private; if I can't hear you, we're aurally private; and if I can't see you, we're visually private. Just a little space will take care of the first three. For the fourth-- since we can see a great distance-- all we need are delicate occulting membranes, possibly rose bushes or soap bubbles or smoke screens."

Probability
Index Entry
Probability is mathematically proven and useful but, as its name states, it is far from incisive prediction. It is a tool but a weak tool. If you want to cross the Atlantic to a given port, probability per se won't you there. It can only say that your chances of getting there are such and such a bet-- as '48 to 1'. Probability says any easterly direction is more favorable than a westerly, but a westerly could probably get you there. But probability would not tell you anything useful about the rocks or continents that might intervene. 'There will probably be rocks and continents in your way.' Probability could not get you to a given port. Navigation can do so. Navigation is discrete and is a powerful tool.

Nature's probability is not linear nor planar, but the mathematical models with which it is treated today are almost exclusively linear. Real Universe probability accommodates the omnidirectional interaccommodative transforming transactions of universal events which humanity identifies superficially as environment. Probability articulates locally in Universe in response to the organically integral generalized omnidirectional in, out, inside-out, outside-in, and around events of the self system as well as with the self system's extra-organic travel and externally imposed processing around and amongst the inwardly and outwardly contiguous forces of the considered system as imposed by both its synchronously and contiguously critically near macrocosmic and microcosmic neighbors.

Probability Model of Three Cars On a Highway:
"I am tying up the social experience, often observed, in which three independently and consistently velocitied automobiles (and only three) come into close proximity on the highway-- often with no other cars in sight. Mathematically speaking, three points-- and only three-- define both a plane and a triangle. The cars make a triangle; and because it is mathematically discovered that the total number of points, or areas, or lines of a system are always even numbers; and that this divisibility by two accommodates polar-and-hemispherical positive-negativeness of all systems; because the defining of one small triangle on the surface of a system always inadvertently defines a large triangle representing the remainder of the whole system's surface, and this large triangle's corners will always be more than 180-degrees each; ergo, the triangle is an 'inside-out,' i.e., negative triangle, and to convert it to positive condition requires halving or otherwise fractionating each of its three corners by great circle lines running together somewhere within the great negative triangle; thus there develops a minimum of four positive triangles embracing the Earth induced by such three-car convergences."

"The triangle made by the three cars is a complementarity of the three other spherical triangles on the Earth's surface. The triangle formed by the two cars going one way, and one the other way, gets smaller and smaller and then reverses itself, getting ever larger. There is always a closer proximity between two of the three. This is all governed by topological "pattern integrity." Probability is exclusively abstract mathematics: theoretically calculated points on curves. The statisticians think almost exclusively in lines or planes; they are what I call planilinear. Willard Gibbs in evolving his phase rule was engaged in probability relating to chemistry when he inadvertently and intuitively conceived of his phase rule for explaining the number of energetic freedoms necessary to introduce into a system complexedly constituted of crystals, liquids, and gases, in order to unlock them into a common state of liquidity. His discovered phase rule and topology are the same: they are both synergetic. Despite the synergetic work of such pioneers as Euler and Gibbs, all the different chmmis- tries and topologies still seem to be random. But synergetics, by relating energy and topology to the tetrahedron, and to systems as defined, and by its synergetic hierarchy, replaces"

"randomness with a rational, cosmic, shape-and-structural-system hierarchy. This hierarchy discloses a constant relative abundance of the constituents; i.e., for every nonpolar point there are always two faces and three edges. But systems occur only as defined by four points. Prime structural systems are inherently tetrahedral, as is also the quantum.
"A social experience of three cars: they make a triangle changing from scalene to equilateral to scalene. The triangles are where the cars don't hit. (These are simply the windows.) But you can't draw less than four triangles. The complementarity of the three triangles makes the spherical tetrahedron--which makes the three-way grid. The little spherical triangle window is visible to human observers in greatest magnitude of human observability and awareness of such three-car triangles at 15 miles distance, which is 15 minutes of the spherical arc of our Earth. Such dynamically defined Earth triangulation is not a static grid because the lines do not go through the same point at the same time; lines-- which are always action trajectories-- never do. All we have is patterning integrity of critical proximities. There is always a nonviolated intervening boundary condition. This is all that nature ever has."

"Nature modulates probability and the degrees of freedom, i.e., frequency and angle, leads to the tensegrity sphere; which leads to the pneumatic bag; all of which are the same kind of reality as the three automobiles. All the cosmic triangling of all variety of angles always averages out to 60 degrees. That is the probability of all closed systems of which the Universe is the amorphous largest case. Probability is not linear or planar, but is always following the laws of sphericity or whole systems. Probability is always dependent on critical proximity, omnidirectional, and only dynamically defined, three-way gridding pattern integrity, and with the comcomitant topologically constant relative abundance of points, areas, and lines, all governed in an orderly way by low-order, prime-number, behavioral uniqueness as disclosed by synergetics."

Probability Model of Three Cars on a Highway:
"In the early days of the auto on a lonely road-- when you saw another car coming-- there was always a third coming into view or already in view. Three cars frequently come to approximately the same highway point at approximately the same time. This is not surprising because when we, having first taken away the two points from the system to accommodate the axis of the observer, and you always have the topologically constant relative abundance of interference crossings, areas, and lines. Edges are lines. The guided car paths are in reality lines, traces, with universal threefoldness of energy event trajectory vectors. Universe keeps sorting its event traces into bundles of three. The social highway experience of three cars is the inexorably present, tri-complementarity relationship of the little local triangle on the Earth's surface complemented by the three other great circle triangles of the terrestrial spherical tetrahedron always inevitably produced in all systems formulations and transforming laws. Critical proximity imposes triangulation."

And then suddenly you make the discovery that if you state the problem correctly, the problem is solved. I simply happened to get to that realization a little earlier than others due to my comprehensive training and my thoroughness and the inspiration of knowing that if I could communicate these possibilities, humanity really might make it. I've had a deep feeling about this all along, and it's a very critical matter. Without that information that we need, we do risk a runaway of ignorance, and that's where the great peril lies."

Ergo, political reform is only and always accessory after the fact. And the concepts of the ultimate products consequent to our synergetically conceived designing, were all alike nonexistent prior to out personally-unique-experience-pattern induced abstract apprehension, and subsequent systematic design conception of them, and our production of their component subsystem items and their testing and assembly.

Procreation:
"If you think about it, it's probably a very difficult design problem to get an organism to want to procreate. Go to the mirror and stick your tongue way out and have a good look at it. If you didn't have one of those and a salesman came to your door and said, 'I'd like to sell you one of these things. You stick it in your mouth and it does you a lot of good,' I doubt that you'd be very likely to buy that tongue. If you were to take a look at your guts, your kidneys, and then had to go to a supermarket and buy a kit to make a baby, I don't think you could put it together at all. If each of us could see all the organic equipment required to regenerate this extraordinary walking coral reef that we really are, I don't think anybody would procreate.
"So in order to be able to get us to procreate, nature gave us a beautiful covering which sort of simplifies, at least, all the frightening colors and coils and such. We have a simplified skin stretched over us, and nature has done a whole lot of tricks, trying to make this thing attractive enough so that procreation will actually occur."

Progressions:
"In addition to the simple arithmetic, algebraic, and geometrical progressions of the first, second, and third degrees of acceleration, mathematics discloses other series, and super-series, of superficially unpredictable mathematical frequencies because they are composed of complementary and reciprocal numbers whose products alone, though never occurring simultaneously or in whole, are compositaly congruent with complex progressions.
"But these complex components occur in discontinuous series, and are inherently self-inexplicable. The complementary functions must therefore impinge upon consciousness only as meaningless. As immediately contemplated upon first experience, they of necessity, alone, constitute seemingly absolute perversity of interference. Synergy-- wholistic behavior unpredicted by parts."

"One of the things I've always wanted to be able to do was to see the whole Earth at once with minimum distortion and maximum effectiveness. That brought me to d method of translating spherical data to a flat surface, which was a direct extrapolation of my mathematical investigations. . . Making a world map took me into the high stratosphere of polyhedra. . . If we put information on a sphere, the maximum that can be read is about one-quarter of the sphere. The tangential information cannot be read. Since our real objective is to be able to read all the information of the total sphere, the whole Earth, then possibly a bigger globe would give more data. But if a bigger globe will do, then why not go to the maximum condition and use the Earth itself? Actually, the bigger the globe, the smaller the reader is in relation to it and the greater the reduction in the material that can be read. There are certain optimal distances of readability. . . Rather empirically, a 12- to 16-inch globe held at arm's length is about the best that can be read from a sphere per se."

How can I get a total surface to give me the best information? In traditional methods of projection such as Mercator, polyconic, or polar-azimuthal, there is only one point, or line, or pair of lines where there is a true reading: that special line along which the conically or cylindrically curved paper is in actual contact with the sphere. From the line of true contact, accuracy diminishes outwardly in projection. The errors increase very rapidly, particularly in the Mercator projection in which the sphere is split open from the great circle of the equator and spread flat so that two points in the middle of Russia are split to the map's ends and seem to be 25,000 miles apart. "I have found then, that instead of trying to use infinitely severed lines with two polar azimuthal projected hemispheres breaking the whole Earth into two separate circular planes, or the polyconic projection with the northern and southern hemispheres projected as fan-shaped planes with their curved edges tangent to one another at only one point, it is possible to avoid introducing infinity within the projected system." - RBF, Univ. of Rhode Island, 26 Aug.

"I use three fundamental reference lines instead of two. When only two lines cross, infinity is involved since one or two lines are open-ended and have no finitely contained areas. If three lines overlap one another they make a triangle. Thus, a finite area is inherently contained. I do not have to break open the data transferred from the sphere to the plane by triangles.
"There is, however, what we call spherical excess in the topological transformation of the spherical data to the flat surface. Spherical excess is the only source of distortion. . . Spherical excess refers to the amount by which the sum of the spherical triangle's angles exceed 180°. Spherical excess for a large spherical triangle is very much larger than for a small spherical triangle. For instance, on a spherical tetrahedron each of the angles is 120 degrees, so that the total of the three angles of each of the spherical tetrahedron's four triangles is 360 degrees; 360 degrees minus 180 degrees leaves an excess of 180 degrees. In a spherical octahedron obtained by bisecting the edges of a spherical tetrahedron and interconnecting the three great circles, each of them angles will be 90 degrees, or

a spherical triangle total of 270 degrees, which means an excess of 90 degrees. If the edges are bisected again each of the corners will be 72° 32' with a total of 221° 36' so the spherical excess of 221° 36' minus 180° is equal to 40° 36' and is being reduced very rapidly. Smaller and smaller spherical triangles give less and less spherical excess. Therefore, I subtriangulate the total of the Earth's surface in the largest number of identical equi-edged small triangles, i.e., the spherical icosahedron, where the spherical excess is a minimal 36°. . . .
"I have found that if I wanted to take off the total world's data in the largest number of identical triangles and have them symmetrical, the triangles have to be equilaterals. The maximum number of equilateral triangles into which we can subdivide a spherical unity is twenty: a spherical icosahedron." You might ask, "Why can't you have more triangles than twenty?" To explain, I shall first take two triangles and put them together. We see that they hinge and just come to be congruent one to the other.

A two triangle system has neither insideness nor outsideness. I want to make a system which subdivides Universe into all the Universe inside the system and all the Universe outside the system. Now, I can take three triangles and I can put them together around one vertex and make the tetrahedron. A round each vertex there are always a minimum of "three triangles. I can insert a fourth triangle around each vertex and get the octahedron. I can next put a fifth triangle around each vertex and get the icosahedron. In this closed system there are 12 vertexes with five equilateral triangles around each vertex." In a system "the largest number of triangles you can possibly have around a vertex is five. I can take that into the planar condition or the spherical, and in the spherical each of the corners will be 72°. Now that I find that I can get the total Earth's surface on to the icosahedron, the edges of the icosahedron's spherical triangles will all be 63° 26'. If possible, one of the things I want is to take the 12 vertexes of the icosahedron and manipulate them in such a way in relation to the sphere of the Earth that the vertexes always fall in the oceans.

"Going from the spherical to the planar condition with fige 60° angles around each vertex means that there are going to be sines opening up to 60°. I would like to have the sine opening in the ocean and not on the land because one of the most unsatisfactory things about looking at the Earth's data on classical map projections is that the constituents themselves are always being distorted in an unfair way. The other fellow’s continent is always being broken up instead of our own.
"Taking all the Earth's data from the spherical icosahedron to the planar icosahedron permits the corners of the large equilateral triangles to be reduced from 72° to 60° so that there remains only a 20° spherical excess. By using an equilateral triangle that is symmetrical with each of the corners having equal subsidence, the amount of contraction becomes invisible and concentric uniform boundary scale is held for the entire length of the triangle edge, and there is no change in this when going from the spherical to the planar condition.

There is local contraction within each small triangle of the three-way grid and that contraction is symmetrical. In all the other familiar methods of map projection, projection errors are dismissed outwardly from the point or line of reference and thereby greatly increased. Compare a circle of radius one with w circle of radius two; because the area of a circle of radius two is approximately four times the area of a circle of radius one, when the dimensional variables of a projected surface are outwardly distributed, the proportion of total map area that is in relatively greatest distortion exceeds by the ratio of three to one the relatively least distorted areas. In my system, the spherical surface subsides inwardly by symmetrical contraction and the proportion of the map which is in relatively greatest dimensional distortion is less by a ratio of one to three than its relatively undistorted area. In my map the error is sent inwardly and is at maximum at the center of each small spherical triangle of the three-way grid system. Every triangle is contracted symmetrically at the same rate.

If the edges of the triangle are six inches, the folded system is the same as a 12-inch diameter globe. Of course, if you make an icosahedron, you will find it faceted into 12 equilateral triangles. If, however, the faceted icosahedron is compared to a 12-inch globe, the efficiencies of conveying information are equal between the two map systems."

The Fuller Projection operates in a series of transformation stages. It first subdivides the total world surface into a plurality of great circle bound polygonal zones. Next it transfers the data from the sphere's surface in separate mosaic 'tiles' corresponding to each of the great circle bound polygonal zones of step one. While migrating as a zonal mosaic tile, each tile (independently) transforms internally from compound curvature to flat surface by methods shown" in the projective transformation model. Each tile transforms entirely within the respective polygonally closed uniform symmetrical containers, allowing none of the data to spill outwardly in perverse distortion.
"When all the tiles have tranformed independently from spherical to planar, their straight polygonal edges--unaltered in length during the transformed in transit migration--permit re-association in a variety of continuous data mosaics.
"The Fuller projection has the relationship to all other known projection methods that a mechanically fillable and sealable set of flasks bear to hair combs, hair pins, fish bones, and star spurs, as instruments of liquid transfer."

The Fuller Projection not only contains its surface data increments within uniform and linearly unaltered closed great circle arc polygonal peripheries-- all the way from its spherical to its planar positions-- but also uniquely concentrates all of its spherical angle excess. It concentrates the excess into 360 degree symmetry within equilateral polygons. This means that the compound curvatures subside by symmetrical internal concentric contraction into a flattened condition entirely within its neither elongating nor shortening peripheral integrity. The internal subsidence of the Fuller Projection is in contrast to all predecessor projective methods for showing the whole world within one unitary surface. All the predecessors disperse spherical excess by outward 'fanning', i.e., by stretching out to flattened condition.

The projective transformation "transfers the spherical data to the planar by employing only great circle coordinates, while all other projections employ a progressively complex admixture of great circle and lesser circle coordinates."
In the projective transformation "from spherical to planar condition the radii of the sphere of reference which penetrate perpendicularly each spherical surface coordinate point of the comprehensive great circle grid, separate from one another at their respective internal ends-- and each and all remain constantly perpendicularr to the transforming, internally shrinking surfaces throughout the transformation, and their original uniform lengths also continue as 'constant' throughout the transformation."

"Because of the constant perpendicularity of the Fuller Projection's radii to the transforming surface, the Fuller Projection greatly simplifies celestial calculations. All astronomical phenomena always occur in outward perpendicularity--zenith--to the Fuller Projection's internal spherical coordinates. On transformation to planar grids the astronomical data always remains in identical perpendicular zenith to the corresponding coordinate positions in the planar phase of the Fuller Transformation.
"Because of this property the Fuller Transformation would be more suitable than any other projection for a comprehensive planar mosaic of a total covering-set of world-around aerial photographs. Aerial photographs are always taken from zenith positions and at a constant altitude, or radius distance from the Earth's spherical surface."

The projective transformation represents the only method by which the whole world data can be transferred from the spherical to the planar within an all great circle grid triangularly, quadrangularly, multipolygonally or all two or three together."

Projective Transformation: Raleigh Edition:
The projective transformation employed "in the Raleigh Edition of the Dymaxion Airocean World is that of the spherical icosahedron, chosen because the latter has the largest number of identical and symmetrical spherical triangles, and therefore the least 'spherical excess' of all the possible symmetrical triangular great circle bound mathematical cases. The spherical icosahedron was also chosen because its controlling arc boundary of 63 degrees 26 minutes 05.816.. seconds was just adequate to the triangular spanning of the maximum continetal aspects encountered in the unpeeling of the Earth's data-- within 20 symmetrical great-circle bound control triangles-- spanning those continents in such a manner that all 12 vertexes of the spherical icosahedron grid lay in the open waters. As a result this peeled strip map contains all the world's continental contours. . . with no displeasing distortions of the shapes."

Projective Transformation: (Dymaxion Airocean World Map:) "The projection system of the Dymaxion Airocean World Map divides the sphere into 20 equilateral spherical triangles which are then flattened to form the icosahedron. These 20 triangles are each projected into a flat plane. . . This method results in a map having less visible distortion than any previously known map projection syste. . . To flatten the globe it is simply necessary to 'unfold' the icosahedron." - Cite Synergetics Illustration, #119, caption. 1967

"I am going to give you a mental model of what I did in developing my method of projection. This is really a 'topological transformation' rather than a 'projection' since it isn't a shadowgram. I am going to take a thin tempered steel band and I am going to mark it with sub-modules, with increments like an engineer's scale. If I bend the band, the modules will all stay in their same original uniform lengths. In a bent condition, or in a flat condition the modules will all read the same. Now I am going to punch holes vertically through both the end module marks of the band and I'm going to take two more such bands each marked with the same modules and I am going to overlap their hole-punched ends, and I'm going to put a round rod through the holes. The rods going through each of the corners of the steel band edged triangles make little swivels. The rods go through the bands vertically and perpendicular to the plane of the triangle formed by the steel bands. If I take hold of the bottom ends of two such rods that go through the holes at the end of one of the steel bands and pull them towards each other, I make the steel band bend. Now I take hold of the bottom ends of all three perpendicular steel rods and pull them towards one another."

Projective Transformation Model:
"This will make each one of the steel bands bend. As each one of these bent or arched bands also rotates away from the others, each of the corner angles will be opening up and the three swivel end bands form a spherical triangle."
"In my projection I've used great circles for the edges of the spherical triangles and marked them with a uniform boundary scale. A set of fundamental perpendiculars to the great circles, as the radii of the sphere, come at even modules onto the great circles. I have interconnected these edge modules of the spherical triangles with the three-way grid. With this three-way grid I could do as I did above with the tempered steel bands and produce a three-way grid of small spherical triangles within the large spherical triangles of the icosahedron. I can put a grommet where each of these steel bands cross and run a rod through perpendicularly which would represent the radius of the Earth going into the center. Imagine the triangle in a flat or planar condition, with a great many of these bristle-like rods going perpendicular to the surface of the triangle and then pulling them all together at their free ends. The triangles of the three-way grid all form spherical triangles."

Projective Transformation Model:
"We find that these rods remain perpendicular to the surface of the triangle throughout all of their transformations. It doesn't matter whether the triangle is flat or is spherical or how it is spherical or what the corner angles are. Each one of these rods will be perpendicular to its spherical triangle at its vertex of attachment just as the radii of the Earth are to the great circles. This means that when we take the geometric data of the stars, any star that is in its zenith over the Earth at any given moment will remain in my map in this vertical position over that point on the Earth whether my map is in a planar condition or a spherical condition."

The thing about proofs is that I am really operational and for me the test is: if the airplane flies. If it does fly, then that's operational. But the mathematicians... you read about them in Courant and Robbins... they have a different kind of criteria. Even though they know that a certain situation always produces predictable results every time, it's not necessarily proven.... The way they might have points on a surface but don't credit the fact that the points are also on the other side of the surface. But you know the way I start out with one point, then two points, then three points, and the insideness and outsideness with four points.... That shows that principles can be realized independent of size.

The list embraces what I know to be my own discoveries and I have no knowledge of others having made those discoveries prior to my own. I am claiming nothing. Proofs may have been made by myself and will be made by myself. Proofs have been made by others and will be made by others. Proofs are satisfying. But many mathematical theorems are of great advantage to humanity over a long period of time before their final mathematical proof's are discovered. The whys and wherefores of what is rated as mathematical proof have been evolved by mathematicians; they are formal and esoteric affirmations from one specialist to another.

While they are not 'mirror' images of one another
And have different weights,
They are transformable
One into the other,
And are thus complexedly complementary,
As are isosceles and scalene triangles.
None of the angles and edges of either need be the same
To produce triangles of equal area.
And the sums of the three angles of each
Will always be one hundred and eighty degrees.
"The mathematical balancing or complementation
Of the proton and neutron are analogously balanced,
Each one having two small energy teammates.
The proton has its electron and its antineutrino,
And the neutron has its positron and its neutrino.

The astrophysicists say that no matter how far things come apart, they never come further apart fundamentally than proton and neutron which always and only coexist. While one is convertible into the other, the masses are not the same. The conversion of one into the other is only by virtue of each having two side energy effects. In other words the proton and the neutron have its two side energy effects. These are like the resultant and the reaction. And in relation to complementarity. . . The Nobel Prize being given 16 years ago to two young men who discovered that the complementarity was not in mirror-image, as it had been assumed up to that time. We had been assuming that all you had to do was to multiply the Universe by two. For some years it was discovered and demonstrated scientifically, physically, that the complementarity was not the mirror-image.
I'd like to give you a way you can understand how the proton and neutron, which do not have the same mass, yet are interchangeable one with the other, are always known to coexist and are complementary to one another: how could they then do this and not be mirror-image?

For instance, you could have an isosceles triangle. And you could have a scalene triangle where all three edges are & different. So the scalene and isosceles triangle quite clearly are different triangles. Yet the sums of the angles on the scalene and the isosceles are all 180°. And you could have the sums of the lengths of the edges of the scalene and the sums of the lengths of the edges of the isosceles also the same, which is exactly what we do have in the proton's and neutron's side energy effects, where we have the proton with its electron and its antineutrino; and neutron with its positron and its neutrino. Each of these teams is called one-half quantum; or one-half spin in the physics.

"I'm simply giving you complementarity. We find that nature, with proton and neutron always and only coexisting, by virtue of which the astrophysicist of today has to say that there never could have been anything primordial, that is, something before order-- that there was original chaos and disorder, out of which, surprisingly, order developed. I would say very surprisingly, because it is fundamental to antientropy that order inherently increases, disorder inherently decreases, and it would be completely counter probability that out of inherent disorder there would develop a beautiful human being or a lily. . . So the astrophysicist discovers that we must always have had proton and neutron, always and only coexisting: that we must always have had order. Man was disorderly in his ignorance. We find that fundamental complementarity. . . to have to have two to explain and complement one another, is not an illogical matter."

"Of all the essential, harmonic, wave-frequency associable phenomena none is more compatible with all other phenomena than are the proton-neutron teams of physical energy. At the next higher level of complexity no phenomena is more universally associable than is the hydrogen atom. No physical complex is more prolifically reproduced in Universe than is the hydrogen atom. But the proton-neutron teams and the hydrogen atoms are individually invisible to the naked eye and are aesthetically appreciated only by the scientists who deal with the invisible ranges of the great electromagnetic spectrum 'reality.' As the essential complexes first become visibly discernible as snowflakes, minuscule flower blossoms, crystals, or any other of the myriads of minutiae, they are spontaneously acclaimed by man as aesthetically pleasing. This aesthetic pleasure includes not only all other visible phenomena ranging from small to large, from starfish to celestial star, but also ranging in biochemical, structural, mechanical, and electromagnetic complexity from the simplest algae and radiolaria to the elephant, the giant redwood, and the human being. The spontaneous aesthetic satisfaction does not stop here but goes on to include the products of these living complexes, which in turn includes humanity's invented tools." - Cite GENERALIZED LAWS OF DESIGN, p.3, 22 Apr'68

Just as in art, science, and poetry the most lasting is proven to be the most profoundly understanding and yet most simply articulated, so too may the word prototype in the mass reproducible undertakings of humanity in the most recent decades and most recent century and most recent millenium of humans' known presence on Earth, only be given in retrospect to those one amongst thousands of inventions which are in fact so timely and simply appropriate and adequate as to induce mass reproduction and can thus warrant the only-retrospective identity of prototype. Just as myriads profess to be artists, poets, or scientists, yet history fails to confirm their claim, so too the word prototype is prematurely claimed for enterprise initiating designs which fail to be reproduced.

I have known a number of psychiatrists, however, and I have talked to them. . . and I have gone back to 50 years ago here in Chicago when a friend of mine was a student of Jung. . . and I have had conversations with people for many years and I have had a number of students at the university who have been going to psychiatrists. And I have always really questioned whether those students who were going to psychiatrists really needed to go to psychiatrists--almost all of them were students of wealthy families and were having troubles with their families and maybe that was the thing to do. I had a tendency to feel that these students depended too much on the psychiatrist. They were just making another parent and continuing with whatever the problems were and they were just not trying to figure things out on their own.
I have been told by my friends--and particularly by my friend of 50 years ago, Dr. Douglas __________, the man who was a student of Jung. . . he said that I had self-analyzed"

"myself and by the age of 32 I had changed my whole life pattern. . . and at that time I reviewed very truthfully my relationships with my family--particularly my mother--in such a way that I would be able to be very fair to her and to bring out whatever the truth really was. And this is a very important part of doing my own thinking. Whether I did or did not follow the practice of psychoanalysis according to the various theories, I did have some kind of an experience all right--enough to have had an experience that made me think about other human beings and their problems. . . and I certainly think that I got myself into that much of a cul de sac in life that I had to start very fresh and do my own thinking.
"I had been brought up in an era that was no longer operative, where the older people were utterly convinced that the younger people's thinking was completely unreliable. . . that it was something that did not firm up until they were 30 or so. And all the younger people were continually being told by the older people: 'Never mind what you think! Listen, we're trying to teach you.' And we were taught to get over our sensitivity and to give up all the things that seemed"

And, knowing that my father died when I was very young, and my mother--I knew how much she loved me, that she sent me to the kind of school where she thought I would get something excellent in the way of education, but I was continually being told: 'Never mind what you think!' . . . So I simply made up my mind to try to give up and pay no attention to what I think . . . to give up all my sensitivities and put on an act, and I actually got to be very good at it.
"I confused my realities. When I was running and high-jumping, and so forth, I was really very true to whatever I am there. I was very true to myself in a ship at sea and I did very well in the Navy, but the naval officer was a game in itself. We had to be an officer. . . and I did very well in the Navy, did very well as a mechanic--because I didn't have to make any money aboard ship. . . I didn't have another game to be superimposed on it."

"When I got out of the Navy and had to come into the building world, I found that I was interested in putting up good buildings; and I was not interested in making money. I never had the slightest feeling for making money. I was really tremendously surprised and actually felt very badly about why people wanted to play games for money with me--and this spoiled the whole thing. The money idea was obnoxious to me really fundamentally. I tried very hard to play the game and I was no good at it. I was in this cul de sac. I had made a mess of it.
"A lot of people thought I was very bright with high initiative and all, and they bet on me and so they lost all their money. I was in a real mess. And I had either theme to do away with myself, because I had a new child, and this was not just our first child, but a second child. Our first child died before her fourth birthday--and after a five-year hiatus here was this new life entrusted to us--that my wife and I were to have in Chicago. . . our families were in the East far away when we had this new child."

That is really all I have to say about my general impressions and experiences with psychiatry--and my relationships to psychiatry--and I have now lived 50 years with this new way of employing my faculties."

Pull
Index Entry
Pull:
"In all our experiences there are relatively few principles that are operative in nature; as for instance we had the first instance when we tried to pull something as a child. We tried to pull paper apart, pull books apart, and then we began to try to pull sheets apart and we tried pulling things apart. Then we get onto a boat and someone says "Hold on to that rope," and you find you are pulling very hard. They say pull this way and then that way-- one is called a sheet and one a halyard and so forth. You have this experience on a special boat and are very excited and for many years you will always think about the "Primrose" and your fun sailing the 'Primrose' on this special day. You gradually get into other boats and you find there are the same kind of things to be pulled. And you find there is a general kind of thing to be pulled in contradistinction to things that are pushed. This is what we call a generalization. We are beginning to discover patterns that persist, principles that are operative independent of whether the rope was white, or dirty, or yellow, whether it was plastic or whatever it was, you still pulled it."

Pulsation:
"The inward-outward expandibility is the basis of convergence-divergence and radiation-gravitation pulsation-- which seems furthest from man's awareness. This is what science has discovered: a world of waves in which waves are interpenetrated by waves in frequency modulation. There is a systemic interrelationship of basic fourness always accompanied by a sixness of alternatives or freedoms."

"One of the things we have to make clear for society is the dilemma of the Max-Planck-descended scientists, the way they do their problems, you can have either a wave or a particle, but not both simultaneously. Heisenberg has the same fault. They make the error of having a wave as a continuity, as a picture-- not as a pulsating frequency. A planar reflex causes them to think of continuous waves."

". . . . Talking about edges of the three frequency vector equilibrium where there are 92 balls on the surface. Now there would be then a frequency of @ three, but there are four balls to an edge going point-to-point, with three spaces in between them. An edge of four balls could either belong to the adjacent square ot it could belong to the triangle. It can't belong to them exclusively: it is like our bonding ..... where we get common edges. When I began to take the sequence of the @ wave pattern I found them running through the indigs of always eight of the zero nine. I found some of them are characterized by not only that one that 's plus one, plus two, plus three, plus four, minus, plus four, plus three--- what am I saying? Minus one, minus two, minus three, minus four, plus four, plus three, plus two, plus one."

"... It's a kind of double pulsation. .. It's only going to send energy when it's going through a vertex. So it does this twice in a cycle. Its energy increments between the two going: yes, yes, no; yes, yes, no: so they add up to a pulse. It goes yes, yes, no; boom, no, no; boom, no, no."

Remember also precession. We find resultant of forces are not at 180° and therefore there is a tendency to go off angularly. Therefore a zig-zag like this of identical length members becomes a very fundamental precessional consequence of a high frequency event. ... A continuous strip like this when folded down, down, up, down, down, up, down, down, up, would fold back on itself and form the tetrahedron and octahedron. ... and the octet truss and fill all space."

In other words it is yes, no, no, yes, no, no. It is a very different kind of pattern from yes, no, yes, no . . . or yes, yes, yes, or no, no, no. . . When I folded the piece of paper into a strip and said it was precessing, I said: hill, hill, valley, hill, valley. It is this kind of one. That is, a nucleus set of events could give you a yes, yes, no which would be the same as hill, hill, valley-- so it was a permitted kind of folding in a nuclear set of fundamental prime set of interactions."

"There is nothing that the tough man can get hold of. That is really what happened during World War I and society paid no attention to it. We went off the invisible and it had been discovered by the people who deal with the invisible that there are no hard core things. If you say that the thing goes off with an awful bang, it is just like I said to you that the water in a wave isn't going from here to there. Yet it is possible for the porpoise to go from here to there surfboarding along with gravity pulling him down forwardly in angles, but the water isn't going from here to there. (There is some top water that gets blown slowly from east to west, but I'm not talking about that.) The porpoise is moving at a very great velocity, and there is no wave of water going there. It is moving in pure principle so it is possible for us to realize that what we call physically pure principle of that bang, because that porpoise can bang up on the beach pretty hard. What he is dealing in is weightless."

Push-pull
Index Entry
In reviewing with EJA Athena V. Lord's manuscript of PILOT FOR SPACESHIP EARTH, RBF came across a description of conventional stone structures held together by compression ..."where the top stones are pushing down on the ones beneath."
RBF: "Nothing could be more [redacted] erroneous. How could a top stone push? What would it have to push against? . . . . What happens is that gravity pulls the top stone--and all the others--against each other."

Push-Pull
Index Entry
Push-Pull:
"The shift between spheres and spaces is accomplished precessionally. You introduce just one energy action-- push or pull-- into the field and its inertia provides the reaction to your push or pull; and the resultant propagates the sphere-to-space, space-to-sphere, transformation whose comprehensive synergistic effect in turn propagates an omnidirectional wave. Dropping a stone in the water discloses a planar pattern of precessional wave regeneration. The curves are seen generating and regenerating and are not instantaneous."

Index Entry
Push-pull Memberg:
"Minimum structural stability requires six struts, each of which is a push-pull member. Push-pull structural members embody in one superficially solid system both the axial-linear tension and compression functions.
"Tensegrity differentiates out these axial-linears into separately cofunctioning compression vectors and tension tensors. As in many instances of synergetic behavior, these differentiations are sometimes subtle. For instance, there is a subtle difference between Eulerian topology, which is polyhedrally superficial, and synergetic topology, which is nuclear and identifies spheres with vertexes, solids with faces, and struts with edges. The subtlety lies in the topological differentiation of the relative abundance of these three fundamental aspects whereby people do not look at the four closest-packed spheres forming a tetrahedron in the same way that they look at a seemingly solid stone tetrahedron, particularly when they do not accredit Earth with providing three of the struts invisibly cohering the base ends of the camera tripod."

Puzzle of Washington Crossing the Delaware:
"I am holistic and I really don't want to be limited. It's like a bunch of picture puzzles that we used to have with a picture on the box of what you were making. But let's just suppose we had no picture on the box, and we had ten puzzles in different transparent plastic bags, and we mixed them all up each of the puzzles with the other. puzzles. I think we could, you and I, sort of intuit which kinds of pieces must be with one puzzle and which kinds of pieces with another and eventually we could at(1) least get them all in the right bags again so they could be worked out.
"That's what it's been like here working these days. Like we had a picture puzzle of George Washington Crossing the Delaware. We'd have one little piece that looked like some ice and we'd have another little piece that looked like George's hat. And we're really just throwing in the tiles and that's what I'm doing giving a lecture, when the kids are all following it and you really can go very fast while you're talking about George Washington's hat and then you're talking about the ice around the boat. All that you really have to say and all that you have time for in the lecture is just to say HAT or just to"

RBF Definitions
"With starvation-provoked universal thieving they had to build a strong pyramid to guard the Pharaoh's after-life equipment. This required the invention of scaffolding technology in the present life. When successive Pharaohs passed into heaven the scaffolding technology accumulated on Earth. With a mounting technology the nobles also acquired protective entry into the after-life. As generations of Pharaohs and nobles went from this world into heaven, this world's technology multiplied. Inevitably the citizens or middle class exploited the burgeoning technology to gain entry into heaven with the Pharaohs and the nobles. Inaugurating the Greco-Roman period of history with knowledge and technology multiplying swiftly, the Moses, Buddhas, Christs, and Mohammeds proclaimed the feasibility of safe entry into heaven of everybody. This ushered in 1500 years of building cathedrals, temples, synagogues, mosques and their graveyards to secure everyone's after-life."

Pythagoras:
"We come then to Greece and the earliest of the going from just geometry into numbers and arithmetic and we get to our friend Pythagoras. Pythagoras was a very unknown kind of a character, he's quite a mystical one; he's almost like one of the prophets. The Pythagoreans kept things secret. Pythagoras taught us many things about the second powers of numbers. He was the first to discover the arithmetical second powering and third powering. All the integration of the arithmetic with the geometry comes from Pythagoras.
"And we have Pythagoras... having experimentally tried twanging a string, what you might call a stringed instrument and finding that when it had a flat at half the length of the prime string it brought about a change in notes which we today would call on the √?√ scale, exactly one octave. This is a Pythagorean discovery; and a man who was terribly interested in fundamental rates of change of number, by various operations of the numbers, one with the other, and all the powering.
"We have him also then thirding the end of the string and discovering that this took the tone what we call 'down,'"

Pythagoras:
"either down or up, what we call a fifth, and what we then have is the keys of the sharps or the flats, these are the fifths up and down, the sharps being a fifth up and the flat being a fifth down; five notes in the scale-- so that we have very interesting prime numbers halving the number two and the thirding bringing about fifths. This would certainly indicate quite clearly a fundamental in our relationship between wave frequencies and number behaviors of octaves. And inasmuch as I'm talking about physics and the waves of the periodic table... its unique frequencies would interact... and what the permutations would be mathematically and I found this highly suggestive that the octave with its characteristically flat resonance really governing the interactions of frequencies. The resonances are the key to much of modern physical exploration. And I think that the very fact that the Pythagoreans were particularly secret is of importance."
